2012 Movies from books

The Hunger Games won't be the only movie based on a book out this year. There are several movies coming in 2012 which takes its inspiration from the written word.

June 22, 2012	Abraham Lincoln - Vampire Hunter Author: Seth Grahame - Smith Director: Tim Burton I love Tim Burton, and though I have not read this book yet, it has been on my to-buy-&-to-read list since I saw it on shelves however long ago that was. I can't wait to see what Burton brings to the table.	Book
August 3, 2012	Dorothy of Oz Author: Roger Stanton Baum Director: Will Finn & Dan St. Pierre Patrick Stewart is a voice... nuf said! (yes, I am a nerd).	Book
No trailer yet.
October 19, 2012	Cloud Atlas Author: David Mitchell Director: Tom Tykwer & Andy & Lana Wachowski Haven't read the book, but Tom Hank's can bring any character to life.
No trailer yet.
October 26, 2012	Alex Cross Author: James Patterson Director: Rob Cohen This is book #12 in the series. It is a little strange that the director chose to start with book #12, but maybe there is a reason for it. I can't say I read too many James Patterson books, or see the movies based on his writing.
No trailer yet.
December 14, 201	The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey  Author: J.R.R. Tolkin Director: Peter Jackson My mom read a part of this book to me when I was younger. I must admit, it is the only book in the series I have ever read/listened to, but I absolutely loved the movies. I just never got around to reading the other books.
November 16, 2012	Twilight: Breaking Dawn part 2 Author: Stephanie Meyer Director: Bill Condon It's almost over. Groan or rejoice, as you wish. This is the second part of the last book, though I am confused why it was split into 2 parts instead of three, since the book is actually three separate books within itself. In 2013, yet another Meyer book will be portreyed on the big screen - The Host.
