The idea for a sequel for the original “One Ring” was an easy one to develop, because  “Two Towers” was just released and I was still big on Lord of the Rings.  Having read the 3rd novel, I decided to base the story on the finale in Mordor, where Gollum and the Hobbits have a showdown in Mount Doom.  Of course I altered the story, and I began making One Ring into a more original series.  Sauron turned into a cliche dumb overlord with a  smart lackey.  The movie definetly got me some more recognition, and it remains one of my favorites.

Fun Fact:  This is the only full length movie where I provide all the voices for the characters.

Fun Fact:  ‘The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins is a song sung by Leonard Nemoy (aka, Mr Spock) in the 70s.  There is a crazy music video with hippie chicks wearing  fake elf ears and pastel sweaters with starbursts o them dance around.   Needless to say it has nothing to do with Lord of the Rings.
