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.”
“Lord of the Rings is one of the most successful and revered franchises in history and presents a significant opportunity for our theatrical business,” Zaslav said.

They're hating because they're afraid the fan film might steal their shine.
13 milion views though?
If they were smart, they'd try to find a way to work with whoever made the fan film.
Maybe have them come in as a consultant or something.
Come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised if the fan film is where Warner Bros got the idea to make a film about Gollum.
Especially since both films essentially have the same title.
