People are definitely paying more attention to fantasy now than before the LOTR films, especially that of Tolkien. Only a little while ago, LOTR, the Hobbit, and the Silmarillion all were on best-sellers book lists in many newspapers, and the bookstores near me have expanded their Tolkien offerings tenfold. The movie has definitely put Tolkien back into the spotlight, and now people who never would have picked up a fantasy novel before are finding they like the genre after all. I know. I'm one of them.
