Tolkien's family fear release of film trilogy

The family of JRR Tolkien fear the making of a film trilogy of The Lord of the Rings will force them into hiding because of overzealous fans.

The late author's son said the family was dreading the release of the first of the three films, The Fellowship of the Ring, starring Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Ian Holm, Cate Blanchett, Liv Tyler and Sean Bean.
