-Galadriel, The Fellowship of the Ring

Welcome!!! My name is Ithildin 'Starmoon', and welcome to The Lord of the Rings Fan Club!!!
Forthe books and the films!
...As you probably know the Lord of the Rings trilogy (including the Prequel, the Hobbit which they are now making a film of!) are all by J. R. R. Tolkien. he wrote the Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, the Two Towers
& the Return of the King. (and the Silmarillian also) If not, now you do!

*~*UPDATE ON THE NEW LORD OF THE RINGS PREQUEL MOVIE: THE HOBBIT*~*
(Thank you, Lefty21!): a 2-disk series, set to be released on 2011-2012:

Spoiler: show

Much of the editorial focus of JRR Tolkien Examiner will be on the upcoming, two-part film version of The Hobbit, to be released at Christmas 2011 and 2012. The Hobbit Report will bring you the latest developments as the production progresses.

This first edition of The Hobbit Report is a compilation of news on the project to-date.
A two-part film adaptation of JRR Tolkien’s beloved novel, The Hobbit, is slated for release in December 2011 and December 2012. The films will be directed by Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro, with The Lord of the Rings film trilogy director Peter Jackson acting as executive producer and co-writer.

Story outlines and treatments were completed in March 2009, and the screenplay is currently under development, with Lord of the Rings screenwriters Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens working with Jackson and Del Toro.

The two three-hour films will recreate all the scenes of The Hobbit, plus events only alluded to in The Hobbit that impact The Lord of the Rings – particularly, the expulsion of Sauron from Mirkwood by The White Council.

Some Lord of the Rings actors are officially reprising their roles in The Hobbit; Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf; Andy Serkis as Gollum; and Hugo Weaving as Elrond Halfelven. All three characters appear in the book. It appears that Ian Holm will not reprise his role as Bilbo Baggins, the title character; he may act as narrator, with a younger actor taking over the lead role.

Sir Christopher Lee has expressed interest in reprising the role of Saruman, who does not appear in the book, but participates in the expulsion of Sauron. For health reasons Lee cannot travel to New Zealand, where the films will be shot, as were the three Lord of the Rings films. Lee’s scenes would have to be filmed in England if he is to participate.

Jackson and others have also suggested that Viggo Mortensen will return as Aragorn. This is puzzling – if Tolkien’s original timeline is followed, then Aragorn is ten years old when the events of The Hobbit occur.

In 1995, Jackson intended to shoot The Hobbit at the same time as The Lord of the Rings; but United Artists would not release distribution rights to The Hobbit to producer New Line Cinema. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, owner of UA, is now on board with the prequel films.


Filming will take place throughout 2010 in New Zealand, and Del Toro will renovate the original Hobbiton sets from the trilogy. In addition, Jackson has kept the Bag End sets, which he uses as a guesthouse. Jackson expects the shoot to last 370 days, with a break in the middle to edit the first film.

The important history of Middle-earth in short. (Even if you have read/watched LOTR perviously, PLEASE READ!!!)

Spoiler: show

“…The world is changed, I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, I smell it in the air. Much that once is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the great Rings… three where given to the Elves. Immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven, to the dwarf lords. Great miners and craftsmen in there mountain halls. And nine, nine Rings where gifted to the race of men. Who above all else, desire power. For within these Rings where bound the strength and power to govern each race. But they where all of them deceived for another Ring was made-in the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Souron forged in secret a master Ring to control all others. And into this Ring he poured his cruelty, malice, and will to dominate all life. One Ring to rule them all. And one by one, the free lands fell to the power of the Ring. But there where some who resisted-a last allegiance of Men and Elves marched against the armies of Mordor. On the slopes of Mount Doom they fought for the freedom of Middle-earth.
“Victory was near… but the power of the Ring could not be undone. It was in this moment-when all hope had faded, Isildur, son of the King, took up his father’s sword. Souron, the enemy of the Free Peoples of Middle-earth was defeated. The Ring passed to Isildur, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever. But the hearts of men are easily corrupted. And the Ring of Power has a will of its own. It betrayed Isildur to his death. And some things which should not have been forgotten where lost; history became legend,… legend became myth, and for two and a half thousand years the Ring passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer.
“The Ring came to the creature Gollum, who took it deep into the tunnels of the Misty Mountains. And there, it consumed him. The Ring brought to Gollum unnatural long life, for five hundred years it poisoned his mind. And in the gloom of Gollum’s cave, it waited. Darkness crept back into the forest of the world; rumor grew of a shadow-whispers of a nameless fear. And the Ring of Power perceived… its time had now come. It abandoned Gollum.
“But something happened then which the Ring did not intend-and it was picked up by the most unlikely creature, imaginable: a Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins of the Shire. For the time would soon come, when Hobbits would shape the fortunes of all.”
-Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, the Film.

Basic Plot for Lord of the Rings (If your thinking about reading/watching LOTR, Please Read: )

Spoiler: show

Middle-earth (the place where all of this takes place) is in turmoil. The One Ring has been found, and the Dark Lord Souron wants it back and will do anything to get it.
We begin in a sunny land, sheltered from most all evils, called the Shire, it is here we are introduced to Frodo Baggins, the hero of this story. Frodo is a Hobbit, which basically means a very short person who is contrary to most all adventures other than the occasional dinner party.
Frodo suddenly finds himself in position of The One Ring, the Ring of Power, and a evil tool of Souron the Dark Lord, and if he retrieves it, he will rule Middle-earth and wipe out all the races or put them to work. The most simple answer is to destroy it, correct? Not so simple as you think… the only way to undo the Ring is to through it into the Cracks of Doom, a fiery volcano within Souron’s stronghold of Mordor. If you can let it go, that is… (if you want a more specific story-outline from LOTR you can VM/PM me and ask me)

The Lord of the Rings are rated PG-13 for “Intense epic battle sequences and frightening images” as said by the back cover of my Lord of the Rings Return of the King movie,
And “Epic battle sequences and some scarry images” as said by the back cover of my The Two Towers & The Fellowship of the Ring, films.
Which basically means, swords, arrows and severed limbs (though you don’t dwell extensively on this, but the battle scenes are long and intence) , and Trolls, Orcs and Uru-hai, Ringwraiths. (and the Balrog from the Fellowship of the Ring.)

bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing- this shadow. Even darkness
must pass. A new day will come! And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you... that meant something. Even if you were too
small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in
those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going...
because they were holding on to something. "
"What are we holding on to, Sam?" asked [Frodo]
"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for. "

And the ship went out into the Hugh Sea and passed on into the West, until at last on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing came over the water. and then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the gray rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld the white shores and beyond them a far green country, under a swift sunrise.

"What, Gandalf? See what?"
“White Shores… and beyond. The far green country… under a swift sunrise.”
