This book tells the dramatic story of how Peter Jackson, with the support of a loyal brotherhood of New Zealand filmmakers, dared to take on a task that was no easier than Frodo's and turn J. R. R. Tolkien's adventure epic "Lord" Rings" into a magic film, and then do the same with "The Hobbit." Using new interviews with Jackson, other filmmakers and many of the film's stars, and with a foreword by the inimitable Andy Serkis, Ian Nathan takes us into Middle-earth to look over the director's shoulder as he creates the impossible and the unforgettable, proving that in cinema "anything is possible" everything you can imagine.”
