THE LORD OF THE RINGS - THE OFFICIAL GUIDE TO THE MOVIE
Translation Thomas Mastakouris
The myths, landscapes and heroes created by Tolkien are truly fascinating and it took four decades for cinema to attain the level of technical expertise necessary to bring them to life. Peter Jackson amazing feat of making three films simultaneously, captured Tolkien’s vision in the most comprehensive way.
For the past few years, Peter Jackson and a team of dedicated filmmakers have been working day and night to bring Tolkien’s masterpiece The Lord of the Rings to the big screen.
They filmed scenes in the stunning landscapes of New Zealand and used the expertise of a small army of artists – including digital effects wizards, medieval weapons experts, stonemasons, linguists, costume designers, make-up artists, blacksmiths and model makers – along with a staff of internationally acclaimed actors and literally thousands of extras, to realize this ambitious dream.
The special effects often went beyond their limits, making Lord of the Rings a groundbreaking and spectacularly thrilling cinematic experience.
