Description

A comprehensive guide to “The Lord of the Rings” in all mediums. The phenomenally successful release of the 2001-03 film trilogy brought Tolkien’s work new prominence but “The Lord of the Rings,” & other works by Tolkien had also previously been adapted by other filmmakers with varying degrees of commercial & critical success. This guide takes a detailed look at the films & radio adaptation attempts & provides detailed commentary on the particular difficulties of adapting this epic book for the screen. The differing visual approaches of Peter Jackson & his predecessors Ralph Bakshi & Arthur Rankin, are also discussed, as are the roles played by actors & special effects in transferring Tolkien’s world-building exercise into a performed medium.
