Directing: Peter Jackson Screenwriting: Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, Peter Jackson Starring: Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortensen, Ian McKellen, Sean Astin, Orlando Bloom, Cate Blanchett Review:“It may feature monsters, wizards and plucky little fellas with furry feet, but The Lord of the Rings isn’t a fairy tale. Which is why Peter Jackson’s adaptation worked so well; from this note-perfect first instalment, it was treated exactly as Tolkien intended — as a historical epic which just happens to be set in an alternative world.” E18 Fellowship marks “the beginning chapter of Frodo’s strange and mighty odyssey to the Cracks of Doom to destroy the ring. ‘There is only one Lord of the Ring, only one who can bend it to his will. And he does not share power.’” A07 Sources:
