How on Earth do you make Tom Bombadil dramatically compelling?

The big selling point of the first season of The Rings Of Power was seeing earlier incarnations of familiar faces like Galadriel and Elrond – but for many viewers, the heart of the series was found in a relationship newly invented for the Amazon Prime show.

We may still be thousands of years before the start of Tolkien’s saga, but the Middle-earth of Rings Of Power is starting to look very familiar indeed.

The first season of AppleTV+’s Pachinko was already an ambitious undertaking, translating a best-selling novel that spans a century into eight time-hopping episodes, but that’s nothing compared to the epic scale of season two. Premiering this Friday (23rd August), the new season is divided between war-torn Japan in the final days of WWII, and the pre-financial crash world of business in 1989.

Aug 18, 2024 | zavvi.com | Alistair Ryder

When director Rich Peppiatt first encountered Belfast rap trio Kneecap, he knew he wanted to make a movie about them. “I went to one of their gigs and was just blown away”, he told Zavvi. “In a world where musicians feel safe and pre-packaged by PR companies, here was a band throwing fake bags of drugs into the crowd and riling everyone up. “They reminded me of Rage Against the Machine, one of my favourite bands growing up – they had something that appealed to the anarchist in me.
