Holko 9,533 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 So, some of you must know about this weird effort famously dissed by Tolkien (or not) - Boorman married Aragorn to Éowyn, make Frodo have sex with Galadriel, Gimli is putinto a hole and beaten until he can remember the password for Moria among other gems, ultimately reworking some of his concepts into 1981's Excalibur (an Arthurian story was actually his first plan before UA suggested him LotR instead, so it came full circle). The 176 page 1-movie-script was considered lost to the ages as far as I know (?) Well, not anymore, shared from an unnamed source on a Hungarian Tolkien fangroup, here's the script, may be interesting: http://cinetropolis.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Lord-of-the-Rings.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3VvjvVTD7bQeO9zVTTa0iM-poeiqQ3aGRJOyOF4W4acCIa8XgN1tbstm8 Haven't read it yet myself but possibly will.

Chen G. 3,954 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 The script wasn't lost, nor was it dissed by Tolkien - that was an even earlier script by one Zimmerman. I believe Boorman's script was turned down by the studio, after a change of management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,533 Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Oh. I somehow mixed the two into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
