Lord of the Rings fans are upset over the rumor the Amazon series will feature sex and nudity

A casting call has allegedly went out to actors and extras asking if they're "comfortable with nudity?" Some Lord of the Rings fans fear that Amazon's J.R.R. Tolkien adaptation will be like Game of Thrones, the show that inspired the term "sexposition." Lord of the Rings fans consider the Tolkien series the anti-Game of Thrones. "Is Amazon trying to capitalize on the success of the extremely horny Game of Thrones by shoving some sex scenes into the notoriously chaste Tolkien saga?" asks Brittany Knupper. "If true, Tolkien might have to return from the great beyond faster than Gandalf the White post-Balrog stomping. See, Tolkien was a DIE HARD Catholic (he was the one that converted TS Eliot to Christianity) and rumored asexual. In fact, he viewed the burgeoning “out of control” sexuality of the 20th century as the greatest challenge to humanity’s morality outside of Nazis and fascism."
