Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring!

Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy won a ton of Academy Awards and revolutionized the fantasy genre on the big screen. With an amazing cast and incredible special effects, the Fellowship of the Ring really took the world by storm when it came out in 2001.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring raises a few questions (aside from the question about how many times the word “the” appears in the title.) Like why did Sauron try to grab Isuldur instead of smashing him like everyone else? Why didn’t Elrond try a tiny bit harder to stop him? Why does Frodo keep getting stabbed? Why is everyone walking so much? Where did Gandalf go? How did they agree to shoot all three movie simultaneously? What about the eagles?

To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

“He forces Gandalf to breakdance against his will.” That’s not...inaccurate...

[cheriegoldie]

As someone from New Zealand that nod to the tourism department was on point. We milked that movie for literally decades.

[DaBezzzz]

"He forces him to breakdance against his will"
I dont think anyone would guess this sentence was about LotR without this context

[PhobiconThis]

"and gandalf is gonna end up falling, "
..."where does he fall?"
"INTO THE SEQUEL" 😅😅

[thesharpeinator]

"Alright then, keep your secrets." Terrific use of a quote.

[benjohnson]

"ohhh very story-considerate Nazgul!"

best thing said about Nazgul ever?

[whereisevan]

“Where does he fall?”

“Into the sequel...”

Ryan George is so on point that it makes me feel wholly inadequate sometimes. 😭

[razbender]

If this was about the book :
-"omg so they must have left immediately"
-"no"

[JediJuniper]

"Why is everyone accusing him of theft all of a sudden"

[iBeamer]

"They're born fully grown and covered in goo"
"Oh, same-sies"

AH HA! Ryan George is a clone!

[ShadyDoorags]

The amount of passion on Producer Guy's face when he said "Killing Sean Bean is tight!" was too convincing.

[simonhowell]

"He's gonna end up falling"

"Where does he fall"

"Into the sequel"

Falling into sequels is *TIGHT*

[KMPLX]

“...and he forces Gandalf to breakdance against his will” lol

[rusianalf]

[KennethScottHuntley]

If you’re a real fan, you only ever watch the four hour version of this pitch meeting.

[Mpow]

Producer guy: “Alright then, keep your secrets”. Me: “He said the thing!!!”

[JusBidniss]

Eagle: I'm gonna need you to get all the way down off my back!
Gandalf: Fair enough! Let me just get right down off that thing!

[MintyCanRead]

Must. Restrain. Myself. From. Getting. Embarrassingly. Over-defensive.

"Killing Sean Bean is tight." lol

[notstickyanymore]

"He forces Gandalf to breakdance against his will"
"very rude"

I AM HOLLERING

[Eliphas_Leary]

...and then Sean Bean does a backflip, breaks his neck and saves the day. Again.
