Any relationship between Heinlein's book and the movie of the same name is totally coincidental. BTW...While we are on the subject. "Blade Runner" is the title to a totally different book which has nothing to do with replicants. The movie is based on a story "Do Robots Dream of Electric Sheep?"
Personally, I reread LOTR every five years nd have found the movies for the most part faithful to the story. Hey, I isn't a deep plot. It is the interplay between good/evil/heroes/villians that make the book so much fun, together with a lot of Scandanavian folklore thrown in for good measure.
I highly recommend a take-off called "Bored of the Rings" (long out of print) published in the late 60s by the Harvard Lampoon. The adventures of Frito, Dildo, Goodgolf Greyteeth , Pepsi, Moxie, and the rest of the questers. And, believe it or not, it follows the original story!!!!
