The Frodo franchise : the Lord of the rings and modern Hollywood / Kristin Thompson Berkeley: University of California Press, 2007.
Call No: 79LOR THOAuthor: Thompson, Kristin Source: USPlace: BerkeleyPublisher: University of California PressPubDate: 2007PhysDes: xxi, 399 p. : ill. ; 24 cmSubject: CRITICISM ; LORD OF THE RINGS, THE (US, Peter Jackson, 2001-2003) ; LORD OF THE RINGS: FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, THE (US, Peter Jackson, 2001) ; LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING, THE (US, Peter Jackson, 2003) ; LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS, THE (US, Peter Jackson, 2002) Summary: "In writing The Frodo Franchise: "The Lord of the Rings" and Modern Hollywood, Kristin Thompson enjoyed unprecedented access to the project's insiders. She interviewed seventy-six people - from Peter Jackson to fan webmasters to producers of the video games to directors of the DVD supplements to tour operators in New Zealand, among many others. She spent weeks on site while the third part of the trilogy was being finished - the ultimate inside vantage point - and the resulting book captures the full dimensions of the struggle to get Rings to the screen."
"Thompson examines the movie's scripting and design as well as the new technologies deployed to produce the films and the all-important videogames and DVDs. She recounts how Jackson, then a little-known director with no hits to his credit, made the startling suggestion of shooting all three epic parts of J. R. R.Tolkien's classic simultaneously and how Jackson then, in realizing his vision, enormously expanded a few small companies into a world-class filmmaking complex. She profiles the fans whose websites provided the film with a wealth of free publicity. Thompson's own enthusiasm - she is a longtime devotee of the novels - and her expertise as a respected film historian underlie her discussion of the impact Rings has had on the companies that made the film and its related products, on the fantasy genre, on New Zealand, and, surprisingly, on independent cinema."--BOOK JACKET.Notes: Includes bibliographic references and indexISBN: 9780520247741Language: EnglishContents: Introduction : sequel-itis -- Pt. 1.

Minding movies : observations on the art, craft, and business of filmmaking / by David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2011.
Call No: 62(04) BORAuthor: Bordwell, David ; Thompson, Kristin Source: USPlace: ChicagoPublisher: University of Chicago PressPubDate: 2011PhysDes: 292 p. : ill. ; 24 cmSubject: ANIMATION ; CRITICISM ; FILM ; GENRES ; PRODUCTION ; THEORY Summary: "Minding movies presents a selection from over three hundred essays on genre movies, art films, animation, and the business of Hollywood that have graced David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson's blog Observations on Film Art since its debut in 2006. Informal pieces, conversational in tone but grounded in three decades of authoritative research, the essays gathered here range from in-depth analyses of individual films such as Slumdog Millionaire and Inglourious Basterds to adjustments of Hollywood media claims and forays into cinematic humor. For Bordwell and Thompson, the most fruitful place to begin is how movies are made, how they work, and how they work on us. Written for film lovers, these essays- on topics ranging from Borat to blockbusters and back again - will delight current fans and gain new enthusiasts. Serious but not solemn, vibrantly informative without condescension, and above all illuminating reading, Minding Movies offers ideas sure to set film lovers thinking - and keep them returning to the silver screen.
