Not to get nerdy, but it's the Second Age of Middle-earth."</p><p>Wood, who stressed that he has no inside knowledge about Amazon's series, said he's "curious" about the stories the new Lord of the Rings show may choose to tell. He added that he's happy that it's filming in New Zealand because that will give it an element of continuity with the film series, which also filmed there.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/elijah-wood-responds-to-amazons-lord-of-the-rings-/1100-6479558/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
