Cruise now wears a hooded cloak to spare unwitting onlookers from distress.
The upcoming release of three films based on J.R.R. Tolkien 's Lord of the Rings Trilogy, will devastate his family according to the writer's son. It's arrival has been eagerly awaited by many, but not by the Tolkiens. According to son John Tolkien, his family will be forced into hiding by the attention of crazed fans of his father's work. It goes on all the time. J.R.R. Tolkien , who died in 1973, was against the commercialization of his work - but the film rights to the Lord of the Rings have not been owned by the family since the Sixties, so the film's makers New Line Cinema don't have to consult them on the making of the movie.
