The definitive guide to the design of the movie, with over 500 illustrations, including many new pieces exclusive to this edition. With complete access to artwork created over a five-year period, this authoritative and insightful book illustrates the creative development of The Fellowship of the Ring. This official book has been fully revised and updated, and now contains over 500 images, from the earliest pencil sketches and conceptual drawings to magnificent paintings that shaped the look of the film, with many new pieces never seen before. Contributing artists include John Howe and Alan Lee; artists who inspired Peter Jackson's vision of Middle-earth and worked with him to bring the trilogy to the big screen. Peter Jackson is among twelve contributors who explain the background to the images. Covering all the locations, costumes, armoury and creatures, including scenes from the extended DVD, the artists who created all these diverse elements give a privileged insight into the development of the film. As well as the wealth of artwork there are also photographs showing the realisation of the creative process, stills from the film, and fascinating ideas that were, nonetheless, ultimately rejected. Printed on high-quality art paper this lavish book is ideal for Tolkien collectors and film enthusiasts. It also makes a superb gift.
