An electrical fire broke out Monday morning at Bray Studios where Amazon Studios’ The Lord Of the Rings: The Rings of Power is filming its second season. The fire reportedly started in a warehouse on the perimeter of the back lot.
Fire department was called, with multiple engines responding. Filming stopped for about an hour while the fire was being put out and resumed thereafter.
“At 12:26pm on Monday, 3 April, we received reports of a fire at Bray Studios near Windsor,” the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service said in a statement, adding that crews from Bracknell, Slough and Maidenhead Fire Stations were sent to the scene.
“Upon arrival, crews discovered a fire in a single-storey warehouse,” the Fire and Rescue Service added.
LOTR: The Rings of Power moved production to the UK for its second season after filming the first one in New Zealand. A couple of weeks ago, a horse died on the set of the fantasy series during preparation for a battle scene, reportedly of a cardiac failure.
Developed by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, The Rings Of Power series is set in the Second Age of Middle-earth — thousands of years before the events of the Lord of the Rings films and the novels by JRR Tolkien. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the drama follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.

Count actor Elijah Wood among those who are rooting for the new Lord of the Rings movies that are planned.
Elijah Wood is opening up about the future of the Lord of the Rings franchise.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Elijah Wood is “fascinated” and “surprised” over Warner Bros. developing multiple new “Lord of the Rings” movies. The studio announced the plan in February. Wood, of course, played the hobbit Frodo in Peter Jackson’s original “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, which grossed $2.9 billion worldwide and remains one of cinema’s greatest fantasy achievements. “I’m fascinated and I’m excited. I hope it’s good,” Wood recently told GQ magazine about the new films. “I’m surprised—I don’t know why I’m surprised because, of course there would be more movies.” “Obviously at the core of that, is a desire to make a lot of money,” Wood continued. “It’s not that a bunch of executives are like, ‘Let’s make really awesome art.’ And, again, not begrudging anybody because, of course, it is commerce. But great art can come from commerce. So those two things are not mutually exclusive.”

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Mick Mars, Motley Crue’s guitarist of 41 years, has filed legal papers bringing deep and apparently hostile divisons between him and the other three members of the band out into the open. The suit only demands that the group hand over relevant documents about their businesses in advance of arbitration. But the wealth of details in Mars’ filing offers a provocative look at the tension between him and the others, in what he says has been a pattern of “gaslighting” in an attempt to kick him out of the group. The paperwork was filed in Los Angeles County’s Superior Court Thursday filed through Mars’ attorney, Edwin F. McPherson, and says the band has deliberately withheld information about the various Motley Crue businesses that he has a 25% ownership share in. Mars says the band has demanded he sign a severance agreement that would divest him of those and other future interests, in return for a 5% stake in the group’s 2023 tour, which is going on without him.
