There and Back Again by Sean Astin

Peter Jackson's epic take on JRR Tolkien's classic tale The Lord of the Rings has become a cinematic phenomenon - a trilogy filmed together, over eighteen months and with the cast becoming a close-knit family. Sean Astin is a veteran of over 30 movies, but knew that this would be different. Cast as Samwise Gamgee, Frodo's devoted friend, Sean lived the dream at first hand, even directing a film about the making of the trilogy for the DVD release of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. In There and Back Again, Sean shares his experiences of the time and his, as yet unheard and often controversial opinions on, among other things: The other cast members including Sir Ian McKellen, Orlando Bloom, Liv Tyler. The direction; The producers; The dangers on set; There and Back Again is a personal behind-the-scenes look at what it was like to be involved in making one of the biggest movie franchises of all time from one of the main actors on set.
Sean Astin plays Samwise Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and is a veteran of over 30 movies, including The Goonies, having successfully made the transition from child star to adult star. Joe Layden is a journalist and the author of over 30 books, including The Rock Says... (with the wrestling legend), which spent five months in the New York Times bestseller list.
