Boorman's script was rejected for its costly effects, and the project was ultimately given to Ralph Bakshi who made the animated 1978 Lord of the Rings film. Boorman tried getting it back off of the ground in 1980 before proceeding with Film/{{Excalibur}}. He has since realized the folly of his attempt and much admires the films Sir Peter Jackson made in his stead. Jackson himself enjoyed Excalibur, but agrees its "gaudy."

Changed line(s) 3,4 (click to see context) from:
Perhaps the most fascinating of those was an aborted attempt by Creator/JohnBoorman (who would later go on to create a fantasy epic of his own with ''Film/{{Excalibur}}''). Like the later films by Creator/PeterJackson, it would have been done in live-action; unlike Jackson, Boorman's script, clocking in at roughly 170 pages, would have attempted to film the entirety of "Rings" in one long movie. Perhaps as an inevitable result, the script becomes very rushed compared to the novel, with entire characters and subplots excised or heavily truncated. What the script is most famous for, however, is that it is very, very strange and surreal, sometimes bordering on InNameOnly (though occasionally it is surprisingly faithful).
