J.R.R. Tolkien Would’ve Risen from His Grave: Lord of the Rings Script Had Frodo Sleeping With Galadriel Before Peter Jackson Saved the Day
Imagine Frodo Baggins swapping his epic quest for a romantic subplot that’d make Tolkien’s ghost do a somersault in his grave. Sounds wild, right? Before Peter Jackson gave us the masterpiece we know and love, The Lord of the Rings script once had Frodo getting cozy with Lady Galadriel in a storyline that screamed fanfiction gone wrong.

The idea of the shy Hobbit sharing anything other than a solemn gaze with the ethereal Elf Queen would’ve turned Middle-earth into a soap opera. Thankfully, Jackson swooped in like Gandalf at dawn to save the day, sparing fans (and Tolkien’s legacy) from one truly questionable scene.
