The original stories, based on the Tolkien novel, to these The Lord of the Rings films, were adapted to screenplays by Peter Jackson, along with the help of co-writers Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens. It’s also worth noting that screenwriter Stephen Sinclair co-wrote the second film ( The Two Towers). Fran Walsh, Peter Jackson’s wife, has worked with him on almost all of his films. Walsh is also known for her own work as a screenwriter, usually on projects with her husband. Philippa Boyens is known for her work in both screenwriting and producing, namely on some of Jackson’s later films. Lastly, Stephen Sinclair is a longtime collaborator with Jackson dating back to the late eighties when he co-wrote a little controversial film with Jackson known as Meet The Feebles (1989). The first film “The Fellowship of the Ring” after the opening introduction, starts us out in the “The Shire” where we get to learn about and get to know some Hobbits like “Bilbo Baggins” ( Ian Holm), his nephew “Frodo” ( Elijah Wood), as well as Frodo’s friends “Sam” ( Sean Astin), “Pippin” ( Billy Boyd), and “Merry” ( Dominic Monaghan). You’ll also get to meet Bilbo’s old friend, a wizard named “Gandalf” ( Ian McKellen). ![]() Frodo, Gandalf, and his Hobbit friends will set off on a journey to destroy a powerful ring and along the way find some help via the white tower captain “Boromir” ( Sean Bean), a ranger of the North “Aragorn” ( Viggo Mortensen), a Sindarin elf “Legolas” ( Orlando Bloom), and a dwarf warrior “Gimli” ( John Rhys-Davies). Gandalf is a good wizard and his polar opposite is an evil wizard named “Saruman” ( Christopher Lee). Saruman and Gandalf will clash over the course of these films.
