The studio was more than happy to give them whatever roles they wanted.Warhammer Digital is a division of Games Workshop. But John Lennon was more interested in being Gollum (can you imagine) and George Harrison had his heart set on Gandalf. Paul and Ringo wanted to be Frodo and Sam, respectively. While it’d be the easiest job in history to just cast the four members of the band as the four main Hobbits, the Beatles themselves had different ideas. The Beatles were fans of the books and reportedly keen on the idea. The movie, in this case, would be a musical featuring original tunes from the John, Paul, George and Ringo. The Beatles had made some good money off movies like Help! and A Hard Days Night, and film producer Denis O’Dell - who was contractually obligated to get them in another movie - had the idea of casting them in a story of Frodo’s quest to take the Ring to Mount Doom. It was the 1960s and rock and roll artists were popping up in a lot of movies.
Yes, there was a time when the Beatles were going to be front and center in a Lord of the Rings adaptation. But before Jackson got his mitts on the Middle-earth saga, there was almost a very different Lord of the Rings movie about how Frodo got by with a little help from a very different set of friends. Tolkien books most of us think of as Lord of the Rings - you know, the ones that became Peter Jackson’s trilogy. That series will act as a prequel to the J.R.R. Amazon is hard at work on its Lord of the Rings TV show, which is set to be the most expensive show ever made.
