Year

Film trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" - a series of three films connected by a single plot.

The trilogy includes films:

2001 - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

2002 - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

2003 - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

The plot of the trilogy follows the hobbit Frodo Baggins, who goes on a campaign with the Fellowship of the Ring to destroy the Ring of Power. This is necessary for the final victory over its creator, the Dark Lord Sauron. The Brotherhood breaks up, and Frodo continues his journey with his faithful companion Sam and the treacherous guide Gollum. Meanwhile, Aragorn, heir to the throne of Gondor, and the wizard Gandalf unite the Free Peoples of Middle-earth to confront the armies of Sauron in the War of the Ring.

The films have won 17 Oscars out of 30 nominations.

Peter Jackson's first encounter with The Lord of the Rings occurred while watching the cartoon of the same name by Ralph Bakshi. He subsequently read the book during a twelve-hour train journey from Wellington to Auckland.

Project development

In mid-1997, Jackson and Walsh began writing the script with Stephen Sinclair. Sinclair's partner, Philippa Boyens, joined the writers after reading their draft. It took 13-14 months to write the scripts for the two films, which totaled 147 and 144 pages.

The three films do not correspond exactly to the three parts of the book, but are rather a three-part adaptation. Frodo's journey is the main storyline, Aragorn is the main storyline among the other storylines, and some episodes that do not advance the two storylines were not included. Even during filming, the script continued to evolve, thanks in part to the actors exploring their characters.

Creation

Jackson brought in longtime collaborator Richard Taylor to handle five design elements: weapons, armor, makeup, creatures and miniatures. In November 1997, famed Tolkien illustrators Alan Lee and John Howe joined the project. Most of the images in films are based on images they create. Production designer Grant Major was tasked with converting Lee and Howe's designs into architecture, creating model sets.

Was created 48,000 pieces of armor, 500 bows and 10,000 arrows. It was also produced 1800 hobbit feet for main actors, many artificial ears, noses and heads.

Filming

Filming for all three films took place simultaneously in many locations, including nature reserves and national parks in New Zealand, over a period of 438 days. Additional filming was carried out annually from 2001 to 2004. The trilogy was filmed by seven crews in more than 150 different locations, as well as on sound stages around Wellington and Queenstown.

Installation

Jackson brought in different editors for each film. John Gilbert worked on the first film, Michael Horton on the second, and Jamie Selkirk on the third. The Two Towers was always considered by the creators to be the most difficult film to edit, since “it had no beginning and end,” and there was the additional problem of combining different storylines.

Music

A Canadian composer was invited to write music for the films of the trilogy in August 2000. Howard Shore. He created a large number of musical themes for various characters, cultures and countries - there are, for example, themes for the Shire, Gondor, Rohan and the Fellowship of the Ring. Music mainly performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra with the participation of Ben Del Maestro, Enya, Renee Fleming, James Galway, Annie Lennox and Emiliana Torrini. Songs were also performed actors Billy Boyd, Viggo Mortensen, Ian Holm, Dominic Monaghan, Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler and Miranda Otto.

The second film, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, will be released on December 13, 2013. and the third film, The Hobbit: There and Back Again, will be released on July 18, 2014.
