The Rings of Power stars tease new character, dwarf drama in season 2
That title isn't just for show. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power finished its first season by finally forging some powerful rings — and there are more on the way. Specifically, season 1 of Prime Video's epic fantasy series ended with the forging of the three elven rings capable of helping the woodland race survive until the end of the Third Age of Middle-earth. But the elves weren’t the only people of that fantasy continent to get rings of power. In season 2 (launching Aug. 29 on Prime Video) we’ll see what happens when the dwarves get some of their own.

Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim director teases Helm's Deep battle in upcoming anime film
The battle of Helm's Deep is a true highlight of The Lord of the Rings, riveting readers and movie audiences alike as the people of Rohan stand strong against an invading army of orcs.

Transformers One director reveals how infamous 1986 animated movie influenced new prequel film
It’s been almost 40 years since The Transformers: The Movie came out in theaters, but Transformers One director Josh Cooley will never forget the first time he saw it. "That one scarred me — and a whole generation," he tells Entertainment Weekly. The animated feature was the sequel to the popular 1980s TV series, and it infamously killed Autobot leader Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) early on at the hands of Decepticon villain Megatron (Frank Welker). Cooley says the trauma of that shocking death heavily influenced him as he made his new Transformers movie — the first animated one in the franchise since that 1986 film — and he has no plans to scar a new generation of fans.
