Tolkien adaptation

Tolkien adaptation refers to the process of transforming J.R.R. Tolkien’s original literary works, such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit," into other media like films, TV series, video games, or stage productions. This process involves interpreting, condensing, and sometimes modifying the source material to suit different formats, audiences, or technologies. Adaptations aim to retain the essence and themes of Tolkien’s stories while making necessary changes for storytelling, visual impact, or audience engagement, balancing fidelity to the original with creative interpretation.
