Lord Of The Rings Gollum Making Of Book

Paperback: 128 pages

Few of the hundreds of characters within The Lord of the Rings are as fascinating as the tormented Gollum. Though he is entirely computer-generated onscreen, his haunted personality is brought vividly to life through the extraordinary talent and performance of Andy Serkis. Serkis's voice, body, and facial movements served as the electronic blueprint for the technical wizards who conjured the character seen in the film, and it was his physical presence -- later removed digitally -- that served as the foil for the actors playing Frodo and Sam. The behind-the-scenes story of a breakthrough cinematic achievement is told in this book.
