The mythos, landscapes and characters that Tolkien created are nothing short of spectacular, and it has taken four decades for cinema technology to reach the necessary level of sophistication to bring them to life. Now, Peter Jackson has accomplished the extraordinary feat of making three motion pictures simultaneously to capture Tolkien's vision in its entirety. For the past several years, Peter Jackson and his team of dedicated filmmakers have been working day and night to bring J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece of epic adventure, The Lord of the Rings, to the screen. They have filmed all over the landscapes of New Zealand, and drawn on the skills of a small army of artists -- including digital wizards, medieval weapons experts, stone sculptors, linguists, costumers, makeup designers, blacksmiths and model builders -- together with a cast of internationally renowned actors and literally thousands of extras, to make this ambitious dream come true. And the boundaries of special effects have been pushed to, and beyond, their limits to make The Lord of the Rings Trilogy a ground-breaking and visually stunning cinematic experience. Designed as a celebration of the films, The Lord of the Rings Official Movie Guide is a lavishly illustrated behind-the-scenes guide which includes full-color photos of the cast, locations, sets, monsters and costumes, together with exclusive interviews with Peter Jackson and all the principal cast. It also features an entertaining overview of the conception, design and filming of the trilogy over the last five years, which will give the reader a privileged insight into the making of the most important movie trilogy of the decade.… (meer)

"I have a very, very strong affection and respect for J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and the films we are making really come from my vision of Tolkien's world, created in collaboration with the many other people working on this project." Peter Jackson
"One day Peter was giving some VIPs the grand tour: he showed his guests the hundred of models, busts and statettes lined up on shelves and he pointed out the thousands of sketches that covered the walls from floor to ceiling. All the while he was explaining: about hobbits, Dwarves and Elves, about the Watcher in the Water, the Balrog and Ringwraiths; he recounted the history of Middle-earth in depth and he described the different places and characters and encounters. Then he paused for a second, turned round with a big smile and said: 'You know, this would make a great book!" John Howe

It would be tempting to liken Peter Jackson to a powerful wizard, conjuring up movie magic, if his build was not more suggestive of a hobbit.

That's something to look forward to: the day when they stop being three separate movies and become one big story again!"
