J.R.R. Tolkien died way before the movie came out. I think you are referring to his son who owned the rights to the books.
nope I was talking about the books being split into three against the initial wishes of the author. He sent in one manuscript and was told it was to long , so they chopped it into three volumes
My bad then, I misread what you said.
Is okay). Just goes to show that even the all-time great authors are often at the mercy of editors and publishers .
It's a really good movie. Of course, they changed quite a few things from the book but still a good movie.
That's a really interesting question. I wonder what a lot of author/painter would think about their legacy. One I'm personally interested in Alexander Hamilton. Before the Broadway show came out he was being endangered of getting removed from the $10 bill. What would he think now that his legacy is being defined by a Broadway show which was created by an immigrant similar to him.
Hopefully he'd like the music
Yeah... Mike Myers is an ok actor for movies geared towards adult, not so much one for kids.
Yeah. I love Lewis Carroll too. Literally wrote a 16 page paper on through the looking glass in high school. There are so many interesting aspects to his stories that are generally ignored by adaptations that I would love to see.
While I admit that Red Rising is solid (I gave it 3.5 stars), the sequel is utter garbage. People tell me the third book finishes strong, but I can't get over how bad the second book was.
