Yes, the movies will have a novelization. At least, that is what Diamond Previews is saying.

Order your copy from Amazon.Com and see what the novelization looks like. The hardback may be ordered here.

No cover scans are available at this time.

Here is what Diamond Previews has to say:

J.R.R. TOLKIEN: LORD OF THE RINGS VOLUME 1 NOVELIZATION

What's been called the greatest book of the 20th century, J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure The Lord of the Rings is coming to the theaters.

Is someone making a mistake? We don't know.

A graphic novelization of The Hobbit will also be published:

J.R.R. TOLKIEN: THE HOBBIT TPB
by J.R.R. Tolkien; illustrated by David Wenzel

First published in the United States more than 60 years ago, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit has become one of the best-loved books of all time. Tolkien's fantasy has now been adapted into a fully-painted graphic novel, which has become a classic in its own right.

TPB, 6x10, 144pg, FC $15.00

This may simply be a reissue of the Charles Dixon/David Wenzel graphic novelization published some years ago.
