Revision as of 06:38, 6 June 2010
The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy consists of three live action films, directed by Peter Jackson. Principal photography for all three films took place in New Zealand over a continuous eighteen-month period — the first time that three films had ever been shot together in this way, although some pairs of films had. There were several later "pick-up" shoots over the following months and years as the films were edited, special effects were added and the script was honed and revised.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was released in December 2001, and won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation of 2001.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers was released in December 2002.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King was released in December 2003, and won all eleven of the Academy Awards for which it was nominated, including the award for Best Picture.
Differences from the book
The films for the most part follow the storyline of the book (see J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings); however there are some major deviations as detailed within the entry for each film. For an in depth analysis of the differences between the books and films, see Tolkien vs. Jackson: Differences Between Story and Screenplay and Tolkien vs. Jackson: Major Differences Between Story and Screenplay.
For analysis of the individual films, see Book vs. Movie: Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring, Book vs. Movie: Peter Jackson's The Two Towers, and Book vs. Movie: Peter Jackson's The Return of the King.
