Middle-earth Beckons Once More: Two New Lord of the Rings Films Announced

Updated: Jun 14

Get ready to return to Middle-earth! Warner Bros. Discovery has announced plans for two new films set in the beloved world of J.R.R. Tolkien's



A Return to Tolkien's Legacy

This exciting news comes from Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, who revealed the upcoming projects on Thursday. The films will mark a fresh chapter in the Lord of the Rings cinematic legacy, following the highly successful trilogies directed by Peter Jackson.


Gollum Takes Center Stage

The first film, titled Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, will delve deeper into the enigmatic creature Gollum. Andy Serkis, who brought Gollum to life with his iconic performance in Jackson's films, will reprise his role and also step behind the camera to direct.



Peter Jackson Returns as Producer

Fans can also rejoice at the return of Peter Jackson in a producing role for both films. His experience in crafting the epic Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies will undoubtedly prove invaluable to the new projects.


A Universe Reborn

The new films promise to transport audiences back to the fantastical world of hobbits, elves, dwarves, and wizards. Building upon the success of the previous films, which grossed nearly $6 billion worldwide, these new stories will undoubtedly capture the imaginations of longtime fans and newcomers alike.
