Lord of the Rings. The Making of the Movie Trilogy

Harper Collins, 2004, softcover, illustrated, 22 cms x 28 cms, condition: as new.

The Lord of the Rings: The Making of the Movie Trilogy is a lavishly illustrated behind-the-scenes guide which includes more than 300 photos from all three films, together with exclusive interviews with all the cast and crew who helped turn J.R.R. Tolkien's unique books into the most significant movie event of the decade.

As the title so aptly suggests, this illustrated volume focuses on how The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy was created and produced. Each page was full of beautiful photos and interesting behind-the-scenes information.

This was actually a far denser read than anticipated. I learned so much about the production, setting, casting etc. of the movies and was surprised by just how in-depth an insight this provided. My Tolkien-loving heart could only give anything related to the fantasy master a full five-star rating, but this book also deserves for just how comprehensive a read it proved to be.
