The definitive history of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth saga, Anything You Can Imagine takes us on a cinematic journey across all six films, featuring brand-new interviews with Peter, his cast & crew. From the early days of daring to dream it could be done, through the highs and lows of making the films, to fan adoration and, finally, Oscar glory.
Lights A nine-year-old boy in New Zealand’s Pukerua Bay stays up late and is spellbound by a sixty-year-old vision of a giant ape on an island full of dinosaurs. This is true magic. And the boy knows that he wants to be a magician.
Camera Fast-forward twenty years and the boy has begun to cast a spell over the film-going audience, conjuring gore-splattered romps with bravura skill that will lead to Academy recognition with an Oscar nomination for Heavenly Creatures. The boy from Pukerua Bay with monsters reflected in his eyes has arrived, and Hollywood comes calling. What would he like to do next? ‘How about a fantasy film, something like The Lord of the Rings…?’
Action The greatest work of fantasy in modern literature, and the biggest, with rights ownership so complex it will baffle a wizard. Vast. Complex. Unfilmable. One does not simply walk into Mordor – unless you are Peter Jackson.
Anything You Can Imagine tells the full, dramatic story of how Jackson and his trusty fellowship of Kiwi filmmakers dared take on a quest every bit as daunting as Frodo’s, and transformed JRR Tolkien’s epic tale of adventure into cinematic magic, and then did it again with The Hobbit. Enriched with brand-new interviews with Jackson, his fellow filmmakers and many of the films’ stars, Ian Nathan’s mesmerising narrative whisks us to Middle-earth, to gaze over the shoulder of the director as he creates the impossible, the unforgettable, and proves that film-making really is ‘anything you can imagine’.

Bra, men ganska repetiv om man redan sett det enorma bonusmaterial som går att köpa till filmerna. MEN, det finns en hel del rolig och intressant fakta som inte ens 60+ timmar bonusmaterial över sex filmer tar upp följt av Tristrams uppläsning ger för det mesta bra imitationer och dialekter till bokens olika citat. Älskar du Midgård, kommer du älska "Everything You Can Imagine".

Långt mer än extramaterialet i dvderna. Antar att tidigare recensent varken lyssnat på den här boken eller sett extramaterialet. Den här boken fokuserar på politiken bakom filmen, inte hur de filmade allt

Väldigt intressant bok om skapandet av Sagan om Ringen, mycket intressant och djupgående info som jag inte visste om, speciellt första halvan. Andra är svagare.Däremot är författaren väldigt onyanserad, och boken en enda lång hyllning till Peter Jackson.
