This Sunday, a giant meeting will be held online at 6pm with the crew of the film The Lord of the Rings. Josh Gad will host this show. Josh Gad is an animator, singer and actor (notably seen as the Fool in Beauty and the Beast). He set up a YouTube show during the lockdown. His name? Reunited Apart. There are already three videos. The first is the one with the cast of the Goonies. The second with that of Back to the futur. Finally a last one with the actors of Splash. The goal is to entertain of course, but also to raise funds to donate to charities related to the Covid-19 pandemic.
A video event this Sunday
On May 27, a video was posted on his YouTube channel with news that will delight more than one! The cast of the Lord of the Rings saga will meet in a new show. It will be broadcast this Sunday, May 31 around 6pm. 
We will find many actors including Ian McKellen (Gandalf), Elijah Wood (Frodo), Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn), Orlando Bloom (Legolas), Andy Serkis (Gollum), Liv Tyler (Arwen), Billy Boyd (Pippin), Dominic Monaghan (Merry), John Rhys-Davies (Gimli), Sean Astin (Sam), Sean Bean (Boromir), Karl Urban (Eomer), Miranda Otto (Eowyn). Director Peter Jackson and his screenwriter Fran Walsh will also be there! An excerpt has already been published on YouTube and on the Instagram page. We were surprised (and happy) to find a mythical scene from the first part The Fellowship of the Ring between Gandalf and Frodo.
"I wish the ring never came to me, I wish none of this happened," Frodo says. "The same goes for everyone who lives to see such moments. But it's not up to them, all you have to decide is what to do with the time allotted to you." Gandalf replied.
A video that has many surprises in store for us! https://www.instagram.com/p/CAt-1SyHS1m/
Filming of the series should resume soon
Filming of the series, which began in February, should have continued for a 2021 release. However, with the coronavirus, all production has stopped. Filming in New Zealand could not continue. However, for about ten days, this country has authorized the resumption of shooting. This is also why Avatar 2 was able to resume. The Lord of the Rings series should therefore take the same path in a short time. At the time of the interruption the Spaniard Juan Antonio Bayona was shooting the first two episodes. Even if the cast will not be the same as that of the film, we can't wait to discover it. Recall that the series provides 5 seasons and a colossal budget. $1 billion was planned according to Hollywood Reporter. If the rumor is true, this would be the most expensive series of all time.
