Probably why so many book to film projects go wrong.

This is very true, in most cases I (personally) think that the book is often better than the film. In fact the only case that immidiately springs to mind - whereI thought the opposite is 'The Tommyknockers' - I thought the TV movie was a lot better than the book.
In the Lord of the Rings' case - I am glad that the films have been made as they will give an access to the general public to the story. But there is still a lot of the story (Tom Bombadil anyone
) missing which is a shame.
