In the mid 1960s, The Beatles were set on making a Lord of the Rings musical movie adaption. They wanted Stanley Kubrick to direct, and they even asked J. R. R. Tolkien for his blessing. The band cast themselves in the roles of Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, and Gollum. The movie was an ambitious venture that never saw the light of day. Eventually, the trilogy would be made by Peter Jackson, just without the involvement of the band.
