For LEGO developer, Traveller’s Tales<\/a>, it’s all about the journey with their first venture into “LEGOfying” an Academy Award Best Picture winner. 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

\u201cThere\u2019s so much fantastically framed cinematography and brilliant camerawork. We can\u2019t improve on that, so we just need to take it and put it into the game,\u201d Ricks explained.<\/p>\n

The usual LEGO voices for characters have also been replaced with theatrical ones such as Orlando Bloom for Legolas, and to streamline the journey, the game world has been created around Tolkien’s original maps where characters can move from Hobbiton to Mordor without jumping in and out of chapters.<\/p>\n
