Executive Producer Nick Ricks shared at E3 that the team has been working closely with LEGO and WingNut Studios\/New Line to recreate The Lord of the Rings experience as authentically as possible. Some in-game sequences are not completely made of LEGO with cinematic sequences added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s so much fantastically framed cinematography and brilliant camerawork.
