New Zealand filmmaker Peter Jackson has spoken up about why he was not involved in Amazon's upcoming fantasy prequel series The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power.

Jackson, 60, is best known for directing The Lord Of The Rings trilogy (2001 to 2003) and The Hobbit trilogy (2012 to 2014), with both trilogies adapted from the novels of the same name by late English writer J. R. R. Tolkien.
