Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Midde-earth becomes a speaker-filled rave in a new batch of AI Lord of the Rings art. Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was released in 2001, bringing the world J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy story to life in live-action for the first time.
The art sees heroes and villains alike joining in on the festivities, with Gandalf even shown DJing in one image. Another shows four Hobbits dancing in front of a set of speakers, while another shows an entire army gathered by massive speakers of their own. While the natural landscapes of New Zealand were essential in bringing Middle-earth to life, so too were painstakingly-designed and made sets. Hobbiton, for example, is often the first location that springs to mind when one thinks of The Lord of the Rings, and the set remains a tourist attraction to this day. Other breathtaking sets include those for Rivendell, the Mines of Moria, Minas Tirith, and Helm's Deep, each one helping to give the settings a tactile feel.
