Sir Christopher Lee Recounts Meeting J.R.R. Tolkien at an Oxford Pub in the 1950s. 🙌 Christopher Lee: We were sitting having a beer and I suddenly saw this figure come in. Pipe just like every photograph jovial looking man and I said my god there’s “The Professor” … He came over and said, “How do you do?” And I said, “How do you do, sir?” And I thought, “Now, should I kneel? Because I was completely overcome. Sir Christopher Lee was the only cast member from The Lord of the Rings who personally met J.R.R. Tolkien. He described the brief, accidental meeting in an Oxford pub as an overwhelming experience where he was so starstruck he nearly fell off his chair.

Did you know? There is a well known audio recording in which J.R.R. Tolkien personally narrates “The Ride of the Rohirrim.” This recording was made in 1952 at a friend’s house using a then new technologya tape recorder. During a period when Tolkien had not yet found a publisher for The Lord of the Rings and had begun to lose confidence in himself as a writer. When Tolkien listened to the recording, he rediscovered the power of his own prose, which encouraged him to continue writing. 📚

J.R.R. Tolkien explains why he spent years building Middle-earth before writing The Lord of the Rings. In a rare interview, Tolkien is asked why he devoted more than a decade to creating the world behind his stories before writing them. He rejects the idea that Middle-earth emerged purely from his unconscious, describing himself instead as “a meticulous sort of bloke” who spent years working out timelines, languages, histories, customs, and genealogies until everything fit together. For Tolkien, the world existed before the story. He even says The Hobbit began almost by accident, explaining that the larger mythology was already in place and that the novel simply became absorbed into it. When asked why anyone would build an entire fictional world before telling a story, Tolkien points to what he calls “subcreation.” As creations of a Creator, he argues, humans naturally desire to create. Since we cannot create something from nothing, we instead reshape existing reality into new forms that are both imaginative and aesthetically satisfying. Tolkien also rejects the idea that art should be driven solely by moral purpose, insisting that beauty and aesthetics are just as fundamental to human creativity. Discussing good and evil, he explains that Sauron was not evil from the beginning but fell from grace, much like Lucifer. The One Ring, he says, symbolizes a power so absolute that even someone with good intentions would inevitably be corrupted by wielding it. He adds that this idea long predates the atomic age, noting that the foundations of his mythology were developed while he was still an undergraduate, not as an allegory for modern events. At the end of the interview, Tolkien is asked whether he would rather be remembered for what he said or for what he made. He dismisses the distinction, arguing that lasting creations endure precisely because they have something meaningful to say. Source: The Tolkien Professor interview with J.R.R. Tolkien (BBC, 1968), “J.R.R. Tolkien Interview (1968).

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Peter Jackson reveals that him and his brain trust are in negotiation talks with the Tolkien Estate to license more rights from Tolkien’s works. "Christopher Tolkien sort of edited and finished other Tolkien books [such as] Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, there's a lot more Tolkien writing, which would actually make great movies that were subsequently edited by Christopher but he absolutely would not let any, the mere idea of filming. Those rights have never been available but Christopher passed away 2 or 3 years ago now and the younger Tolkien is running the estate now and they're much more open to talking Combination of Warner’s and us have been talking to some of the younger Tolkien members about the possibility of actually licensing some of the rights to the other books. It would be nice to get away from the appendices and get something a bit more meaty." What would be the very first adaptation you would like to see if Warner Bros had the full rights to Tolkiens work?
