Lord of the Rings The Making of the Movie Trilogy

The Lord of the Rings: The Making of the Movie Trilogy is a lavishly illustrated, behind-the-scenes, definitive account of the creation of an epic film experience. Hailed by critics worldwide, the first movie was a box-office smash, one of the most successful films of the decade. Peter Jackson's "fierce, imaginative movie takes high-flying risks and inspires with its power and scale," said Newsweek. "In every way this is moviemaking on a grand scale," wrote the San Francisco Chronicle. Including more than 300 photographs from all three films, most unique to this book, and exclusive interviews with the cast and crew, Brian Sibley's fascinating book takes fans inside the process of adapting J.R.R. Tolkien's masterwork for the screen. For the first time, three major movies were made at once, a triumphant and monumental undertaking that took the world by storm. Here are details about the hundreds of dedicated artists, craftspeople and cast and crew members who labored for years - adding authenticity at every stage - to bring one of the greatest stories ever told to an eager film audience. Sibley shows us how the magic is made - from the director, writers and actors to wardrobe, makeup, miniatures, music and digital special effects, it's all here.Sibley, Brian is the author of 'Lord of the Rings The Making of the Movie Trilogy' with ISBN 9780618260225 and ISBN 0618260226.
