Book Reviews of The Frodo Franchise: The Lord of the Rings and Modern Hollywood
Book Review: Not quite what it may seem.
Summary: 3 Stars
Don't be mislead by the positive reviews. This is not a book about the making of the movie series and had very little new information in that regard. What it is is a detailed look at how the films were marketed and how the franchise was leveraged for maximum profit. There is also a lot of discussion of how that applies to the way Hollywood does business.
Just make sure you know what you are getting.
