Warner Bros. will release the first of its new batch of “The Lord of the Rings” films in 2026, which will focus on Andy Serkis’s Gollum.
Original “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy filmmaker Peter Jackson and his partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens are producing the movie and “will be involved every step of the way,” Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said during an earnings call Thursday.
The project is currently in the early stages of script development from writers Walsh and Boyens, along with Phoebe Gittins and Arty Papageorgiou, and will “explore storylines yet to be told,” Zaslav said.
In a press release from Warner Bros. later Thursday morning, the studio revealed that the working title for the film is “Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum,” and it will be directed by and star Serkis in his iconic titular role. The film will be executive produced by Ken Kamins, with Serkis and The Imaginarium’s Jonathan Cavendish.

So I guess it’s about Aragorn and Gandalf trying to hunt down Gollum before Mordor does?
No way McKellan or Mortensen return, right?

Could be…good, great or a train wreck.

Gollum will now be a black homosexual tranny pedophile.

I was afraid they were remaking the original trilogy this makes me happy at least.

This has been done already.

No way they’ll get Viggo to return for this, I think he’s so over the green screen CGI obsession Jackson has now
I devour anything LOTR but I gotta say this doesn’t really move the needle for me. Out of all the material in the appendices they could expand on they go with this?

a short film?
You know Whiplash was a short film right? and then made a full length film that expanded on the awesomeness of the short film.

If there is one thing we know for sure, it’s that Peter Jackson excels at adding his own ideas that aren’t in the books.

They are going to Star Wars this IP. Wasn't the Rings of Power enough? These people never learn.

it's a slippery slope. there's enough here just like in SW to tell great stories.
The Mandalorian is an example of this done right.
It's possible to do, though unlikely but as long as the possibility is there i want to see them try.

Why is this worth a movie? Did it happen between Fellowship and ROTK?

It’s not worth a movie. It’s worth two apparently. This happened at the beginning of Fellowship between Bilbo’s party and Gandalf returning and throwing the ring in the fire to read the glyphs.

LOL, no. Starting with Luke they demonstrated they lost focus.

It was 17 years between Bilbo's birthday and when Gandalf returned to confirm his suspicions about the Ring. That's the problem created by the movies (which I love) in that they make it seem like it was only a short time afterwards (less than a year).

When is that dog shite Rings of Power show coming back? 
And they’re just money hungry with this movie. The Hobbit films were bland enough.

It actually happens between The Hobbit and Fellowship as well as taking place during the first half of Fellowship. The film glosses over this, but Gandalf is gone for years between Bilbo’s 111th Birthday Party and reuniting with Frodo. He and Aragorn are hunting for Gollum during this time, but Sauron finds him first. Gandalf alludes to this in Fellowship: “I looked everywhere for the creature Gollum, but the enemy found him first.”
The reason Gandalf knew that Gollum told Sauron about the Ring, the Shire, and Baggins is after Gollum was set loose from Barad-dur, Aragorn and Gandalf managed to capture and question him. This is also how Gandalf knows Gollum’s actual name of Sméagol. They then imprison him in Mirkwood with Legolas, and a major reason Legolas was at the Council of Elrond was to alert them that Gollum had escaped and was going to pursue the Ring again.
But I don’t know if there’s enough story here to have an entire movie made about it.

Yeah but that’s not too big of an issue. It’s believable that Gandalf was gone for five years between those two times, and that timeline still works.
