Warner Bros. has revealed plans for a new "Lord of the Rings" film, "Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum," set to release in 2026, featuring Andy Serkis in a dual role as director and the iconic character Gollum. The film, produced by original trilogy filmmakers Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens, is in the early script development stages with a team that includes Phoebe Gittins and Arty Papageorgiou. This announcement follows a February 2023 deal by WB label New Line Cinema to develop multiple Tolkien-based films, also heralding an animated feature titled "The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim," due in December. Jackson, Walsh, and Boyens expressed enthusiasm about returning to Middle-earth, emphasizing their commitment to preserving Tolkien's legacy.
