Fíli’s death is relatively the same, although the subtitle originally saying “then the brother” has been redubbed to say “then the other,” as Azog has no clue about their family structure in this cut. Kíli is now just killed by an unknown Orc and Tauriel is not involved. Hooker, Mark (2014). The Tolkienaeum: Essays on J.R.R. Tolkien and his Legendarium. Llyfrawr. pp.1–12. ISBN 978-1-49975-910-5.

Consistent tone as the story progresses from its lighthearted beginning to more serious ending. With this, display a convincing atmosphere with more realistic combat and physics. This aids in allowing The Hobbit to transition more naturally into the The Lord of the Rings films from an atmospheric perspective. Placement is the key to this kind of typography, which allows the title to be a direct part of the design. Sometimes this might mean that it’s is obscured by the cover design, as in Brett Reetz’s Swimmer. Other times, it means that the title is an extension of the scenery. Look at the cover for The Girl on the Train, for instance: its combined elements create a sense of motion — replicating the point-of-view of the title character, peering out the window as the scenery races by. In the first edition of The Hobbit, Gollum willingly bets his magic ring on the outcome of the riddle-game, and he and Bilbo part amicably. [7] In the second edition edits, to reflect the new concept of the One Ring and its corrupting abilities, Tolkien made Gollum more aggressive towards Bilbo and distraught at losing the ring. The encounter ends with Gollum's curse, "Thief! Thief, Thief, Baggins! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it forever!" This presages Gollum's portrayal in The Lord of the Rings.

Book chapters in the film are now reflected with their respective movie portion, indicated by chapter stops. I read the book while editing to make sure I could stay as faithful as possible, all while still respecting the limitations that follow: I only have access to the existing footage, films inherently need to be more cinematic & dramatic than their book counterpart, and the presentation needs to be cohesive for viewers who have not read the book. Carpenter, Humphrey (23 November 2003). "Review: Cover book: Tolkien and the Great War by John Garth". The Sunday Times. Removed all references to Azog and the High Fells. Instead, all we learn is that the wild is crawling with Orcs and their numbers are growing, which we will see paid off when all the Orcs show up in the final battle. I felt these films had "too much," whether it was all the sideplots, CGI, action, or new characters. As a huge fan of the book, I decided to edit these movies down to match closer to what Tolkien wrote while also rectifying my own critiques. This project is for both the purist and casual fans alike, with the end result providing a more focused narrative that I find more enjoyable and emotionally impactful.As always, removed the most offending silly moments, including cutting the Elf-Dwarf romance jokes and some other moments that went too far. Removed Bilbo killing a Warg to keep him as a non-warrior at this point. Throughout this edit, he only ever struggles to fight one Goblin and then kills two spiders, mostly with the help of the ring or element of surprise. Other than these instances of combat, he uses his wits and brains to escape situations, like the book. a b c Records of George Allen & Unwin Ltd (Held by the University of Reading Special Collections Service. See catalogue item RUL MS 3282, Letters to/from Houghton Mifflin 1950–1963) Chance compares the development and growth of Bilbo against other characters to the concepts of just kingship versus sinful kingship derived from the Ancrene Wisse (which Tolkien had written on in 1929), and a Christian understanding of Beowulf, a text that influenced Tolkien's writing. [100] Shippey comments that Bilbo is nothing like a king, and that Chance's talk of "types" just muddies the waters, though he agrees with her that there are "self-images of Tolkien" throughout his fiction; and she is right, too, in seeing Middle-earth as a balance between creativity and scholarship, "Germanic past and Christian present". [101] Photo collages are an exciting trend in the world of cover design. Given the recent innovations in photomanipulation, they offer a vast sandbox of possibilities to designers. As you can see, photo collages give the cover a bit of a modern look. In a bit of a twist, you might see this technique adorning the covers of classics — giving books such as Charles Baudelaire’s Las Flores del Mal a very contemporary interpretation. 5.
