The Plot of the Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, Explained
Peter Jacksons trilogy of Lord of the Rings films from the early 2000s are the quintessential fantasy movies of the 21st century. They are a near-perfect adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkiens legendary books, though they arent afraid to divert from the original story in ways to make it more compelling in a cinematic format. Since their incredible success both critically and at the box office The Return of the King was the second film in history to gross over $1 billion, and it went on to win 11 Oscars, including Best Picture there has been a consistent desire for new Lord of the Rings stories both from fans and the studios behind the scenes.
