Considered to be one of the biggest and most ambitious film projects ever undertaken, with an overall budget of $2. While the films follow the book's general storyline, they do omit some of the novel's plot elements and include some additions to and deviations from the source material. Set in the fictional world of Middle- earth, the films follow the hobbit.
Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) as he and a Fellowship embark on a quest to destroy the One Ring, and thus ensure the destruction of its maker, the Dark Lord Sauron (Sala Baker). The Fellowship becomes divided and Frodo continues the quest together with his loyal companion Sam (Sean Astin) and the treacherous Gollum (Andy Serkis). Meanwhile, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), heir in exile to the throne of Gondor, and the wizard.
Gandalf (Ian Mc. Kellen) unite and rally the Free Peoples of Middle- earth in the War of the Ring.

By October, he and his partner Fran Walsh teamed up with Miramax Films boss Harvey Weinstein to negotiate with Saul Zaentz who had held the rights to the book since the early 1. The Hobbit and two films based on The Lord of the Rings.
Negotiations then stalled when Universal Studios offered Jackson a remake of King Kong. By April 1. 99. 6, the rights question was still not resolved. But due to location problems, he decided to start with The Lord of the Rings franchise instead. When Universal cancelled King Kong in 1. Jackson and Walsh asked Costa Botes to write a synopsis of the book and they began to re- read the book. Two to three months later, they had written their treatment. In this treatment, Gwaihir and Gandalf visit Edoras after escaping Saruman, Gollum attacks Frodo when the Fellowship is still united, and Farmer Maggot, Glorfindel, Radagast, Elladan and Elrohir are present.
Bilbo attends the Council of Elrond, Sam looks into Galadriel's mirror, Saruman is redeemed before he dies and the Nazg. They agreed upon two films and a total budget of $7. Sinclair left the project due to theatrical obligations. Amongst their revisions, Sam is caught eavesdropping and forced to go along with Frodo, instead of Sam, Merry, and Pippin figuring out about the One Ring themselves and voluntarily going along after confronting Frodo about it, as occurs in the original novel. Gandalf's account of his time at Orthanc was pulled out of flashback and Lothl. Denethor attends the Council with his son. Other changes included having Arwen rescue Frodo, and the action sequence involving the cave troll.
The writers also considered having Arwen absorb . Spending four months there, he told Miramax that the films were more likely to cost $1. Miramax unable to finance this, and with $1. On 1. 7 June 1. 99. Bob Weinstein presented a treatment of a single two- hour film version of the book.
He suggested cutting Bree and the Battle of Helm's Deep, . Now Jackson, Walsh, and Boyens had to write three new scripts. The three films do not correspond exactly to the trilogy's three volumes, but rather represent a three- part adaptation. Jackson takes a more chronological approach to the story than did Tolkien. Frodo's quest is the main focus, and Aragorn is the main sub- plot. Much effort was put into creating satisfactory conclusions and making sure exposition did not bog down the pacing. Amongst new sequences, there are also expansions on elements Tolkien kept ambiguous, such as the battles and the creatures.

During shooting, the screenplays continued to evolve, in part due to contributions from cast members looking to further explore their characters. Anderson worked directly with the talent including Viggo Mortensen and Karl Urban to develop the film's many sword fights and stunts. This documentary on sword martial arts also featured Weta Workshop and Richard Taylor, The Lord of the Rings illustrator John Howe and actors Viggo Mortensen and Karl Urban. All discussed their roles and work on the series as related to the sword.
Most of the imagery in the films is based on their various illustrations. For example, the New Zealand Army helped build Hobbiton months before filming began so the plants could really grow. Pick- up shoots were conducted annually from 2. The series was shot at over 1.
Along with Jackson directing the whole production, other unit directors included John Mahaffie, Geoff Murphy, Fran Walsh, Barrie Osbourne, Rick Porras, and any other assistant director, producer, or writer available. Jackson monitored these units with live satellite feeds, and with the added pressure of constant script re- writes and the multiple units interpreting his envisioned result, he only got around four hours of sleep a night. In this period's later part, Jackson would move to London to supervise the scoring and continue editing, while having a computer feed for discussions to The Dorchester Hotel, and a . He had a Polycom video link and 5. The extended editions also had a tight schedule at the start of each year to complete special effects and music.
John Gilbert worked on the first film, Mike Horton and Jabez Olssen on the second and longtime Jackson collaborator Jamie Selkirk and Annie Collins on the third. Daily rushes would often last up to four hours, with scenes being done throughout 1. This was the final area of shaping of the films, when Jackson realised that sometimes the best scripting could be redundant on screen, as he picked apart scenes every day from multiple takes. The first film's editing was relatively easygoing, with Jackson coming up with the concept of an Extended Edition later on, although after a screening to New Line they had to re- edit the beginning for a prologue. The Two Towers was always acknowledged by the crew as the most difficult film to make, as . Jackson even continued editing the film when that part of the schedule officially ended, resulting in some scenes, including the reforging of And. Later, Saruman's demise was cut from the theatrical edition (but included in the Extended edition) when Jackson felt it was not starting the third film effectively enough.
The first time Jackson actually saw the completed film was at the Wellington premiere. Many filmed scenes remain unused, even in the Extended Editions. Promotional material for The Fellowship of the Ring contained an attack by Orcs from Moria on Lothl.
Also cut were scenes from the book, including Frodo seeing more of Middle- earth at Parth Galen and an extended Council of Elrond. He was hired in August 2. In the music, Shore included many leitmotifs to represent various characters, cultures, and places. For example, there are leitmotifs for the hobbits as well as the Shire. Although the first film had some of its score recorded in Wellington.
Jackson planned to advise the score for six weeks each year in London, though for The Two Towers he stayed for twelve. As a Beatles fan, Jackson had a photo tribute done there on the zebra crossing.
Even actors Billy Boyd, Viggo Mortensen, Liv Tyler, Miranda Otto (extended cuts only for the latter two), and Peter Jackson (for a single gong sound in the second film) contributed to the score. Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens also wrote the lyrics to various music and songs, which David Salo translated into Tolkien's languages. The third film's end song, . On top of that, individual themes were composed to represent different cultures. Infamously, the amount of music Shore had to write every day for the third film increased dramatically to around seven minutes. Some, such as animal sounds like those of tigers and walruses, were bought.
Human voices were also used. Fran Walsh contributed to the Nazg. Other sounds were unexpected: the fell beast's screech is taken from that of a donkey, and the m.
In addition, ADR was used for most of the dialogue. The technicians worked with New Zealand locals to get many of the sounds. They re- recorded sounds in abandoned tunnels for an echo- like effect in the Moria sequence. New Zealand cricket fans provided the sound of the Uruk- hai army in The Two Towers, with Jackson acting as conductor during the innings break of a one- day international cricket match between England and New Zealand at Westpac Stadium. Mixing took place between August and November at . The building, however, had not yet been fully completed when they started mixing for The Return of the King. The total increases to 3,4.
The Two Towers. The crew, led by Jim Rygiel and Randy Cook, worked long hours, often overnight, to produce special effects within a short space of time. Jackson's active imagination was a driving force.
