The Zimmerman Lord of the Rings Script: Worse than John Boorman’s??
I’ve reviewed John Boorman’s awful Lord of the Rings script in four parts (see below for links), but there was another awful adaptation that never got past the scripting phase by Morton Grady Zimmerman, and while I don’t have access to the script itself, Tolkien wrote two letters commenting on it that reveal a good deal, and it’s awful.
The Boorman Script:

And if you want some good Tolkien discussion, please check out my criminally underwatched but fascinating discussion with David Rowe, author of The Proverbs of Middle-earth, on the subject of wisdom in Tolkien’s works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOHLbX0u8EI
