From b2 -- The film I would add to the TCM list is Fellowship of the Ring

Posted by Fuzzy (aka mrfuzzy) Apr 13 '09, 10:37

Ok, really it's about the trilogy, but I just picked the first film to represent it. The influence being the concept of filming an epic trilogy all at the same time rather than years apart. I've seen several other films follow suit (though I'm currently drawing a blank on them).

Responses:

That's not a huge influential deal imo. That's just economics of massive productions -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 13, 11:00
also, for the attention to detail in costuming, jewelry, weapons, sets, etc. I went to the display we had here ... - zork Apr 13, 10:41
Matrix and Back to the Future did that for their sequels, before LOTR. - celedhring Apr 13, 10:40 14
- but filming 2 and 3 after a successful 1 is much different than committing to 1,2,3 before any revenues come in -- nm - zork Apr 13, 10:45 5
  - Yes, but how can it be influential in that arena when no other franchise has done that since. -- nm - Ender Apr 13, 10:49 3
    - which is why I mentioned the artistry of the crafts (above) -- nm - zork Apr 13, 10:50 2
      - Has that worked its way into other films since then either? -- nm - Ender Apr 13, 10:54 1
        
        no, I was thinking innovative (or thereabouts) rather than influential -- nm - zork Apr 13, 10:56
  - Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 10:48
- Back to the Future did? I did not know that. -- nm - Fuzzy Apr 13, 10:41 2
  - Yes, 2 and 3 were shot back to back. - celedhring Apr 13, 10:43
  - I think 2 and 3 were done at virtually the same time; it led to some complications in Fox's private life -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 10:42
- Oh wait, I just had a brain fart about Matrix. Scrap that. -- nm - celedhring Apr 13, 10:41 4
  - was the planning for LOTR possibly before Matrix? -- nm - zork Apr 13, 10:42 3
    - No, no I was wrong. Principal photography for LOTR came first. - celedhring Apr 13, 10:44 2
      - I suppose the point isn't who did it first. It's really about which one had the most influence on the film industry. - Fuzzy Apr 13, 10:46 1
        
        I agree on that. It's like who discovered America. - celedhring Apr 13, 10:51
Such as Pirates 2 and 3? -- nm - con_carne Apr 13, 10:39 1
- Thank you! ST really is smarter!! -- nm - Fuzzy Apr 13, 10:40
