It is a prequel to The Lord of the Rings movies, explaining how Bilbo gained possession of the One Ring. The Hobbit movies also show other things from Tolkien's other works, such as Sauron's return.

What order does the movies hobbit go in?

The HobbitThe Fellowship of the Ring, Book IThe Fellowship of the Ring, Book IIThe Two Towers, Book IThe Two Towers, Book IIThe Return of the King, Book IThe Return of the King, Book IIThe Silmarillion is another book that Tolkien also set in Middle-earth thousands of years before the first of the Hobbit books, but it is a history of the Elves and does not concern itself with Hobbits (except briefly in its final chapter where it reviews the events of the end of the Third Age from the point of view of the Elves, which differs slightly from the point of view of the Hobbits).


How many Lord of the Rings movies are coming after the hobit?

None. The story has been completed. There are other works of Tolkien that may get made into movies. Currently there is discussion about putting the book The Hobbit on the screen. It is a prequel to the Lord of the Rings. The other books about Middle-earth occur long before the Third Age and the time of Men. Yes, there will be a new lord of the rings movie, called the Hobbit. It is based on Tolkien's original book set in Middle-earth before the events of LOTR. Peter Jackson is directing these two movies (yes, there will be two), and as I write they are rebuilding Hobbiton. I'm not sure if Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Hugo Weaving (Elrond) will be retaking their old roles, but I hope so, since it would give the films a sense of continuity. All I know so far! Thanks.

How can you audition for Lord of the Rings?

You can not audition for the Lord of the rings movies because the movies have already been made. Actually they're making a new series. It's called The Hobbit. I'm not sure if they're having auditions or where they're having them.
