On Warner Bros. Discovery’s first-quarter earnings conference call on Thursday, CEO David Zaslav said that the company is “now in the early stages of script development” for new Lord of the Rings movies, which he says they “anticipate releasing in 2026” and will “explore storylines yet to be told.”

Zaslav says that director Peter Jackson and his longtime writing partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens “will be involved every step of the way.”

Warners Orders Fan-Made ‘Lord of the Rings’ Movie Removed From Internet After 15 Years
'The Hunt for Gollum' movie has been blocked following the studio's announcement of their own Gollum movie.

Soll wohl als Zweiteiler konzipiert werden. Bin gespannt, wann die Dreiteiler-Meldung kommt.

“I can tell you definitively it isn’t two films!” Boyens said. “That was a genuine misunderstanding that happened because we’ve begun to work, conceptually, on two different live-action films. The first being The Hunt For Gollum, the second one still to be confirmed.”
