Because the book precedes the movie, and often the author of the book has nothing to do with the movie. It's almost sacrilege. If anything, the movie posters should echo the book cover. I mean, I enjoyed The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but I don't want to see Elijah Wood's fucking face on my copy of Fellowship of the Ring. Especially when so many editions of Tolkien's novels have exquisite artwork from people like John Howe and Alan Lee.
i personnally enjoy it when a new edition of the book has a photo from the movie on the cover, but yeah, i kinda understand what you're saying
