The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring: Review

LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, THE
starstarstarstar
Devotees will surely quibble and some will staunchly resist anything involving elves, but New Zealand director Peter Jackson (King Kong) took the mythical beast that is J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved Lord of the Rings saga and wrestled it into solid entertainment. Elijah Wood stars as the diminuitive hobbit Frodo Baggins who's called upon by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) to save Middle Earth by returning a malevolently alluring gold ring to the dark land where it was originally forged. Much adventure, involving humans, hobbits, dwarves, Orcs and, yes, elves, ensues. Grab your ring and your magic staff and gather together all your furry footed friends: TNT is running Peter Jackson's entire Lord of the Rings trilogy back-to-back. First up: The Fellowship of the Ring, in which the diminuitive hobbit Frodo Baggins (Elija Wood) is called upon by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) to save Middle Earth by returning a malevolently alluring gold ring to the dark land where it was originally forged.

  • LOTR Studio Faces Legal Hurdles over Precious Profits | Today's News: Our Take | 2/12/2008
    The Lord of the Rings trilogy made a reported $6 billion worldwide, but the estate of the franchise's creator, J.R.R. Tolkien, claims that they have not gotten their fair cut of the gross profits.Tolkien's estate, a charity known as the Tolkien Trust, along with the books' publisher, HarperCollins, on Monday filed a lawsuit against New Line Cinema, which released the films. The suit claims that the studio was obligated to pay 7.5 percent of gross receipts to the plaintiffs, who are suing for $150 million. Plus, the plaintiffs want the right to put the kibosh on any of New Line's rights to make other films based on Tolkien books, including The Hobbit — for which the studio already has a two-picture prequel in the works. And just when we thought Peter Jackson's squabble with New Line was The Hobbit's only hurdle.... — Anna DimondRelated: • Hobbit Forming: Peter Jackson to Lord Over Prequel read more
  • Hobbit Forming: Peter Jackson to Lord Over Prequel | Today's News: Our Take | 12/18/2007
    Following much legal tangling and a small degree of name-calling, Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema have settled all litigation relating to the Lord of the Rings trilogy and reached an agreement to bring J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit to the big screen. "I'm very pleased that we've been able to put our differences behind us, so that we may begin a new chapter with our old friends at New Line," Jackson says in a statement to the AP. "We are delighted to continue our journey through Middle Earth."As was done with the three Lord of the Rings films Jackson helmed, a pair of Hobbit movies will be filmed simultaneously. Production is set to begin in 2009, with the releases coming in 2010 and 2011. While Jackson (with Fran Walsh) will executive-produce the pics, a director has yet to be named. read more
  • Did you ever get a chance to ... | Matt Roush | 7/30/2007
    Question: Did you ever get a chance to check out George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series? I was really excited a few months back when it was announced that the series was being adapted for TV on HBO. Now that I've seen Deadwood, I'm totally sure that this can work on HBO, and it seems like HBO could use a new quality show. Now that Rome and The Sopranos are gone, I'm seriously thinking about canceling my subscription until A Song of Ice and Fire starts. Answer: You may be in for a long wait. I haven't heard anything about this project since the initial announcement, but now that I've read the first three volumes — devoured them, actually, is I think the more appropriate term — I can only imagine how long it will take to script, then film, such an epic series. HBO didn't mention this during its recent TCA session, but that's hardly surprising if it's still in the early stages of development. It does sound like a perfect fit, doesn't it? The characters are so vivid and ... read more
