8. A Ring in the LOTR Films Used for Close-Ups
Found in: New Zealand’s Jens Hansen Jewellery
Estimated Cost: Not given
At the box office, the Lord of the Rings trilogy brought in billions of dollars. With millions of fans worldwide, LoTR is based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. A picture of a massive “One Ring” prop used in the movie went viral on Twitter in 2020.
Users of the @diply/Pinterest Platform were taken aback by the size of one of the props used for the close-ups in the Lord of the Rings films. This massive ring was employed for close-up glamour shots, even though there were normal-sized prop rings in the One Ring. Since the LoTR adventure would not be possible without the One Ring, it might be said that the One Ring acted as its own character throughout the films.
