The Lord of the Rings

Pippin Skywalker sent us an e-mail with the name of the Production Company in New Zealand, and also the name of the Casting Director for the films. Here’s what they said:

J. R. R. Tolkien enjoys renewed popularity these days, thanks to the power of Hollywood — the Oscar-nominated film version of his trilogy “The Lord of the Rings.”

But without another power — C. S. Lewis’ friendship — Tolkien might never have found the encouragement to finish his massive, complex fantasy of hobbits, orcs and elves.
