Good news everyone for The Lord of the Rings does not end in The Return of the King as Elijah Wood reprise his role in the upcoming two-part Peter Jackson-helmed "Lord of the Rings" film, "The Hobbit," according to the actor's reps. The news comes on the heels that Warner Bros. will handle the worldwide theatrical and video distribution.
Although "The Hobbit" is slated to be a "Lord of the Rings" prequel that goes down years before Frodo's birth, Jackson put a creative loophole in the blockbuster series that could make an organic Frodo cameo possible. The filmmaker included the fictional Bilbo Baggins-penned tome "The Hobbit, or There and Back Again" to record his adventures — a detail that could allow viewers to follow the narrative alongside Wood's character in "The Hobbit." At the end of "Return of the King," Frodo turns the book over to Samwise Gamgee. The One Ring blog reported that Frodo will appear in the opening sequences of each of the two films.
The Hobbit, is a fantasy novel and children's book by J. R. R. Tolkien. It was published on 21 September 1937 to wide critical acclaim, being nominated for the Carnegie Medal and awarded a prize from the New York Herald Tribune for best juvenile fiction. The book remains popular and is recognized as a classic in children's literature.
Set in a time "Between the Dawn of Færie and the Dominion of Men",The Hobbit follows the quest of home-loving hobbit Bilbo Baggins to win a share of the treasure guarded by the dragon, Smaug. Bilbo's journey takes him from light-hearted, rural surroundings into darker, deeper territory. The story is told in the form of an episodic quest, and most chapters introduce a specific creature, or type of creature, of Tolkien's Wilderland. By accepting the disreputable, romantic, fey and adventurous side of his nature (the "Tookish" side) and applying his wits and common sense, Bilbo develops a new level of maturity, competence and wisdom. The story reaches its climax in the Battle of Five Armies, where many of the characters and creatures from earlier chapters re-emerge to engage in conflict.
