The producer himself has worked on a number of blockbusters over the years, including Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and Guillermo del Toro films like Crimson Peak and Pacific Rim.

“Callum’s wealth of experience, commitment, and talent has only enriched the storytelling world of our The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series. He’s been an instrumental part of the team and we couldn’t be more excited to be working with both he and Sara, with her rich entertainment background, on future projects for Prime Video.”
Callum Greene himself is also excited to continue his work on The Rings of Power series.

The variety and scope of work being created at Amazon is a perfect fit for the wide range of stories we’re inspired by and we’re looking forward to expanding our collaboration.”
