New Line Cinema announces that they are teaming with Middle-earth Enterptises to create new films adapted from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
New Lord of the Rings films are in production from the same studio that created the landmark film trilogy which ran from 2001 through 2003. The films, which brought the world of author J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth to live-action, were followed by a trilogy based on his prequel novel The Hobbit in 2014, from returning director Peter Jackson.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Today, Warner Bros. Pictures announced that New Line Entertainment and Middle-earth Enterprises are collaborating on multiple feature films set in the Lord of the Rings universe. This multi-year agreement came after New Line acquired Middle-earth Enterprises.
Given the wealth of characters and locations present in the Lord of the Rings books, there are quite a few routes for any film to take. Even if the new stories choose not to focus on iconic characters like Frodo, Aragorn, Gandalf, or Legolas, there are plenty of other figures to focus on. This includes side characters from the films, such as the elf lord Elrond or Éowyn, the niece of the King of Rohan .
However, the new Lord of the Rings could also feature characters from the books who were not featured in the original films. This includes the notoriously absent character Tom Bombadil, a powerful and mysterious being who lives in the forest. Bombadil is an iconic figure who is present in neither the theatrical nor extended cuts of the original trilogy, and could be an interesting face to finally bring to the screen.
