New Line Cinema finally brings the epic adventure of good versus evil, The Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring to cinematic life.

Unfortunately, it is not an easy task to plan one movie, let alone three. Imagine what is involved to successfully film three movies in one shot. The trilogy, which will take three years to complete, is expected to cost $270 million ($90 million per...
Alright
