\n\tCurtis Brown have signed the J.R.R. Tolkien literary estate under their Curtis Brown Heritage banner.<\/p>\n
\n\tCurtis Brown Heritage, which launched in 2016 with the objective of managing some of the most beloved literary estates in the world, already reps Douglas Adams, A.A. Milne and Barbara Taylor Bradford\u2019s estates.<\/p>\n
\n\tNow they\u2019ll be adding \u201cThe Lord of the Rings\u201d creator\u2019s works to their roster after inking a deal with the descendants of J.R.R. Tolkien, who manage his estate.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe estate is made up of two bodies, The Tolkien Estate Limited and The Tolkien Trust. Together they are the custodians of Tolkien\u2019s works published during his lifetime. They also jointly rep Tolkien\u2019s posthumous works together with the Christopher Tolkien Estate.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cIt is a great honour and a joy to be working with the Tolkien Estate to preserve and celebrate J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s extraordinary literary legacy, and to help to bring new readers (and viewers and listeners) to his writing,\u201d said Norah Perkins, head of Curtis Brown Heritage. \u201cI am thrilled to be joining the Estate on the next part of the journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tolkien\u2019s literary works and legacy. We are committed to keeping his stories alive for generations to come. In Curtis Brown Heritage we have found partners who share that passion, and we are delighted to be working with them.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tJonny Geller, CEO of The Curtis Brown Group, added: \u201cI\u2019m delighted on behalf of Curtis Brown to welcome one of the great literary estates of the world to the agency. All of us who grew up passionate about reading have been influenced and dazzled by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and we are committed to help to bring a new generation of readers to the enduring pleasure of these great books.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn 2022 Swedish gaming company Embracer acquired the film and television rights to Tolkien\u2019s published works from longtime owners The Saul Zaentz Company for $395 million. The rights excluded television series of eight episodes or more, which remain with the Tolkien Estate. The Estate licensed these to Amazon Prime Video to create \u201cThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,\u201d which launched in 2022.<\/p>\n \n\tVariety<\/em> understands Curtis Brown Heritage will be working with all the Estate\u2019s historic partners, including Embracer and HarperCollins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Curtis Brown have signed the J.R.R.
