Part One (of three) of The Shepherd King is in work print. Final run time is 3.5 hours with an appropriately placed intermission halfway through.
This movie introduces us to the origins of the two Kings, Saul and David, setting the stage for David’s rise, ending with the fall of Goliath and the subsequent battle with the philistines.
Alright. This project is finally falling together. Season 2 did exactly what I was hoping for – giving us a battle that we could end the first film with.
Currently, I’m going with the title “The Shepherd King”. Part 1’s first edition is complete. I would love for some people to give it a watch and offer some edits and suggestions.
These are good thoughts! As soon as I get it uploaded, I’ll send you a link!
This project is a theatrical cut of Amazon’s “House of David,” the goal of which is to repackage the show into cohesive, cinema style experiences.
This show is, in my opinion, the best biblical television to date. It is faithful to source material, while also succeeding with impressive creative liberties. It tells the story of King David’s origin, the house of Saul, his predecessor, and the early rise of his legacy.
My aim was to streamline the seasons, maintaining all of the best and most important story lines.
The project is nearly complete, and I have a work print option available upon request.
Part Two is in progress!

This film is the fourth of a long expected project, the goal of which is simply to repackage the RoP show into cohesive cinematic experiences.
The edits in these films are aimed primarily at creating cohesive, self standing, enjoyable cinematic experiences worth returning to in years to come, without removing or changing too very much of the RoP itself.
This film exists only in theory, though I welcome all input and suggestions, including a better name if one comes along. The main idea of this film is to take the events of season 2 surrounding Numenor and Isildurs journey as the primary storylines. Obviously, everything depends on season 3. So as of right now, we wait.
Major thanks goes primarily to Vranir, who has some great edits of his own.

UPDATE SINCE THE ARRIVAL OF SEASON 2

“Shadow’s Rise” (Workprint Complete)
“The Harfoot and the Stranger” (WorkPrint Complete)
“The Lord of Gifts” (Primarily the story of the creation of the rings from S02, in production)
Hey! I just sent it in your DM! Enjoy! Please feel free to post back on here what you think and any suggestions you might have along the way!
Haha I feel your heartache, but I do believe there is hope! Send me the DM as well! Would love to see your updated one, I was huge fan of the previous. Big inspiration in me getting started on my renditions.
I know that some hold the opinion that we shouldn’t divorce the Harfoot story from these movies, but I’m giving it a try in my projects. I think that we have to remember that the majority of the Second Age is a tragedy story. And so my first Edit is the central story of Season 1, absent of the Harfoots, which allows it to be more fleshed out to accommodate the plot lines that are carried out in Season 2.
Ultimately I’m striving for A 3.5 hour movie per season, and a 3 hour harfoot movie per two seasons (until they share screen time together.).
Anhojan, have you thought down these ideas? What issues am I going to run into?
UPDATED WITH THE ARRIVAL OF SEASON 2
I know a lot of opinions have circulated regarding the series, many of them positive many of them, negative. I believe that there has been a grand mix of both legitimat, valid criticism of the show, and not so legitimate. I believe a lot of people have been dissuaded from even watching the show by the growing social media culture of “hate content”. But at the same time and to be fair, season one did have pacing issues… And even outside of the rings of power, I believe that the entertainment world is starting to get fed up with the “show format”.
Many have gone before in trying to “fix” the show by making it movies. My heart in this project is to change as little about the show as possible, but rather organize them into a movie saga format that maintains exciting pacing and the formula of storytelling that has stood the test of time.
Many awesome people have gone before me in this, and I have depended greatly on their work. Major shout outs to Anjohan and Vranir (and everyone who helped them).

I love it. As I’m doing some planning for my own attempt, I’m heavily considering making a harfoot movie. As it currently stands, season two still has no overlap in the storylines, and it would free up a lot of story driving. Potentially could lean towards a
“Rings of Power Saga”
The Shadow of the Past
Adventures in the East (harfoots season one and two)
The Forging of the Rings…
And so on …
