Tolkien
literature has achieved so much success
that has made appear computer
games , role plays and films.
Role plays
have made a scandal indeed.In this
kind of game , each person
has a role, they play as if they
were a character of the story. In this
way they make a story which includes
fantasy, fights , death , ...
Because
of that the scandal was that people
who played, principally teenagers,have comitted
murders because they have brought the game
to real life, believing that they are
the character actually .
COMPUTER GAMES
J.R.R. Tolkien worked for an entire lifetime in creating his amazing fantasy world, Middle-earth. This world of elves, dwarves, hobbits and other creatures became the setting for his bestselling novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. In time, these novels became one of the main sources of inspiration for the growing role-playing hobby, which in turn came to inspire many of the pioneer computer game programmers during the seventies.
These pages, created as a homage to Tolkien and to the many devoted people who brought Middle-earth to new life with their computers, are designed to be a source of reference for the computer-gaming Tolkien fan. All in all, there are more than 100 games known to me and you can search for the ones you are interested in by means of several different criteria.

ROLE PLAYS
There are a lot of web pages related to role
plays. I´ve found over 1300 matches.That is, a lot of people
who plays.The success of this type of games is evident.I´m not against
this type of game, but there are also many news about murders motivated
by them and other computer games. Violence appears in every game and children
are exposed to it.( I ´m not criticising this type of game, I´m
informing objectively about what´s happening in the world today).I´ve
played also , and I think that is a very imaginative game where you have
to use strategy and give free rein to your imagination. You can have a
good time.

FILM, here you can see some of the characters
and other things about the film that it´s coming,at last, soon.
Why are the movies being made?
For many years, fans across the world have dreamed of the day when The Lord of the Rings trilogy could be brought to life on the screen. Up until the present time, the technology needed to make film versions of J. R. R. Tolkien’s massive epic novels simply did not exist. Now, with the recent amazing advances in computer technology in the movie industry, it is entirely possible to visually recreate Tolkien’s landscapes, locations, and creatures for the screen. With the proven power of the source material, the limitless possibilities offered by computer technology, and the sheer amount of talent amassed for the project, it is abundantly clear that there has never been a better time than the present to bring these stories to life. And the fact that the studios financing the films are almost assured a wealth of profit from both the movies themselves and promotional tie-ins doesn’t hurt, either.
Who's directing?
Peter Jackson, commonly referred to as "PJ" by fans, is in control of the three movies. Jackson is a New Zealander whose previous films include The Frighteners, Dead Alive, and Heavenly Creatures. He was the recipient of a London Critics Circle Award as Director of the Year in 1996 for his work on Heavenly Creatures.

Films
How is the director controlling such a huge project?
Instead of micromanaging the project and overseeing
every small detail, Jackson has delegated some of the responsibility to
others, although he does still have the final say. The three movies are
not being shot in sequence, one after another, but are instead being filmed
at the same time. This method of shooting the movies will save both time
and money in the long run. Jackson is controlling the main unit for filming,
and full second and third units are also working on various scenes in different
locations. Jackson maintains control of the other two units via satellite
videoconference.

What company is producing?
Peter Jackson’s Wingnut Films Limited is producing the movies, and New Line Cinema is financing them. New Line will also be in charge of distribution.

Who adapted the books to a script?
Peter Jackson himself turned the books into a screenplay, in collaboration with Frances Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and Stephen Sinclair. Jackson and Walsh shared an Oscar® nomination for Best Original Screenplay for 1994’s Heavenly Creatures.

Why isn't J.R.R. Tolkien's son, Christopher Tolkien, involved in the film project?
The members of the Tolkien estate have stated
repeatedly that they do not wish to be involved with the film project,
although they have not released to the public any specific reasons why
they made this choice. The merchandising rights belong to Saul Zaentz Company,
so the Tolkien estate has no control over movie-related merchandise.
