CMA Presents "Entertaining Risk"
JPL, von Karman Auditorium
Mark Odersky,
Executive Producer of "Lord of the Rings",
Sean Astin,
actor, Samwise 'Sam' Gamgee in "Lord of the Rings",
All that glitters is not golden, all those who wander are not lost, and all movie scripts written need not be produced. New Line Cinema took a very large risk–a risk to approve and fund the production of three epic films without knowing if any would be a success. The first of these movies, "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," was a resounding success and won four Academy Awards on Sunday. Come join us and hear Mark Ordesky describe the challenge of making these films. Sean Astin will join Mark Ordesky to answer questions following the presentation.
This event is free. All JPL/Campus personnel are welcome.
