But they&#8217;ve come up with something that I think is kind of interesting and I think very fitting that doesn&#8217;t necessarily infringe upon the integrity of the original novel. It&#8217;s great. I&#8217;m really excited.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>Those [the Lord of the Rings] films marked a huge, massive experience in my life.
