YEAH, BUT THE MOVIE WASN'T AS GOOD AS THE BOOK

 
BOOKS ABOUT TO BECOME MOVIES

THE HOBBIT by J.R.R. Tolkien

THE HOBBIT

Status: Set for release December 14.

Who's involved: Peter Jackson directing, with Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Ian McKellen, Evangeline Lilly, Orlando Bloom Andy Serkis, and many more starring.

Why you should read the book first: One thing that could very well surprise a lot of people come December is that The Hobbit is actually very different than the Lord of the Rings trilogy. In fact, rather than being filled with hordes of orcs, evil wizards, Sauron, and epic battles, the book is actually more of a children’s fable, telling the story of Bilbo Baggins as he goes along with a bunch of bumbling dwarfs to find a treasure. It’s also one of the few books that will get a fairly literal translation on the big screen, as the book is being split into two three-hour films. And who doesn’t love to see a movie taken right from the pages of a legendary tome?
