It’s “Tolkien Week,” which means people all around the world are celebrating that literary genius who gave us ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ book series, and therefore the corresponding movie adaptations. Aside from that, though, it’s the 75th anniversary of ‘The Hobbit’s’ original date of publication, and September 22 is the annual “Hobbit Day.” So, there’s a lot of J.R.R. Tolkien action to be had. 

Peter Jackson already played his part for the special occasion by revealing an all-new trailer for ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.' While we’re waiting patiently for 'The Hobbit' to hit theaters on December 14 and for "Hobbit Day" to officially kick off, we’re celebrating Tolkien Week in our own way by looking back at ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and revealing a few facts you probably didn’t know about Jackson’s movie trilogy and Tolkien himself.
