Our next episode of ‘TheOneRing.net Radio Show’ will air on January 24th at 2pm ET. Guests include author J.W. Braun (‘The Lord of the Films: The Unofficial Guide to Tolkien’s Middle-Earth on the Big Screen’). We’ll be taking phone calls, text messages and more! Click on the image above to view the radio show page.
J.W. Braun was born in the area where Dungeons and Dragons was invented and became fascinated by fantasy before he had a handle on reality. After reading The Lord of the Rings as a child in the 1980s, he became convinced that the books would one day become blockbuster films and began watching for news of potential projects. As the would-be blockbusters began to come to fruition, he followed the reports from the project from beginning to end, savouring every moment.
