In

"The
rights
that
Amazon
bought
were
for
a
50-hour
show.
They
knew
from
the
beginning
that

the
size
of
the
canvas;
this
was
a
big
story
with
a
clear
beginning,
middle,

end."
"There
are
things
in
the
first
season
that
don't
pay

until
Season

what
Tolkien
wanted.
As

we

like
every
invention
of
ours
was
true
to
his
essence,
we
knew
we
were
on
the
right
track,"
