Ahead of the first trailer for Amazon’s Lord of the Rings show, The Rings of Power, this weekend at the Super Bowl, Vanity Fair has published new images of the show and interviews with the key creatives. Among the many interesting stories is how the show will deviate greatly from the novels it’s based on in some key ways. Additionally, the showrunners discussed the show’s tone in response to rumors about Game of Thrones-levels of sex and violence.

The show will compress certain events, like Sauron’s rise to power and resurrection, which was understood to take place over thousands of years. In the show, it will be presented as a single point in time. According to the report, this is the “biggest deviation from the text” in the entire series.
