The Lord of the Films: The Unofficial Guide to Tolkien's Middle-Earth on the Big Screen
One book to rule them all. First popularized in Tolkien's classic and bestselling series, The Lord of The Rings has garnered millions of fans around the world. The stunning film trilogy by Peter Jackson was groundbreaking, beautiful, and, as expected, hugely successful. The Lord of the Films is a unique scene-by-scene guide to the entire film trilogy, with lots of games, puzzles, and interviews with the filmmakers tossed in. In this book, each scene in each movie is tackled on four different fronts: a closer look at the plot and the action, a look behind the scenes, a reveal of mistakes that slipped through, and audiences' reactions. In addition to the famous live-action trilogy, other related films (such as the animated animated adaptations) are covered as well. As an added bonus, the book includes a foreword by Cliff Broadway, a staff member of TheOneRing.net a member of the inner circle of those who worked on the films. After reading this book, fans will feel like they're watching The Lord of the Rings for the first time all over again

Great new addition to the LOTR library
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A wonderful collection of facts, anecdotes, interviews and trivia for LOTR fans. I really enjoyed it! I didn't realize there were so many things I STILL didn't know about the making of the films. Kudos to the author for what must have been a long and grueling process of researching this book.
A BLAST FOR ALL LOTR FANS!

This book added greatly to my enjoyment of the LOTR films, which I watch once a year. After reading J.W. Braun's collection of fascinating anecdotes and tidbits, I'm treating myself to another trilogy viewing soon -- with The Lord of the Films in hand. Excellent job, J.W.!
A "RINGER'S" DELIGHT!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Oh, I know many people, other than "Ringers", will find this book delightful. But for Ringers... WOW!... for us, this book is a real treasure. So much information...WONDERFUL 'behind the scenes' stuff ... hours and hours of delightful discoveries that will add to my enjoyment ( and yours, I'm sure ) each time we watch the films. J.W. Braun did his homework, and we are grateful recipients of this absolutely FUN romp through our favorite movies, the films of Middle Earth. Now, along with reading and re-reading LOTR, I'm going to be reading and re-reading Lord of the Films. Thanks, J.W.
Must-have for any LOTR fan!

I was pleasantly surprised by Lord of the Films. J.W. Braun takes you by the hand and guides you through all three films with love and a sense of humor; you can tell he loves what he does! You'll like this book whether you're a hard-core Tolkien fan or if you've never read The Lord of the Rings but just like the films. This book is a must-have!
Fantastic Must-Have!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is an excellent book every fan of the LOTR films will love. I thought I knew everything about The Lord of the Rings, but Braun did his homework and the result is page after page of "Wow, that's cool, I didn't know that" info. Throw in lots of cast and crew photos and interviews, and you have the icing on the cake. While the book could be longer (it's about 220 pages), it's definitely a must have for any LOTR fan."
