Amazon does have the rights to adapt part of JRR Tolkien’s work to develop The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powerwhose second of 5 seasons should arrive in 2024. But since 2022 and the acquisition of Middle-earth Enterprises by Embrace Groupeveryone wonders if other things are planned for the cinematic future of the saga.
The answer is yes and we learn it from Warner Bros. Discovery on the occasion of its last strategy conference. Yes, the company that had produced the trilogies The Lord of the Rings And The Hobbit through its antenna New Line Cinema is fine recover the baton for new movies adapted from Tolkien’s writings. The contract over several years concerns many feature films, but we obviously still do not know what narrative arc they could be inspired by.
“We understand how expensive these works are and working with our partners at New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures, we plan to honor the past, look to the future, and adhere to the highest level of quality and production values,” said Lee Guinchard, CEO of Freemode, Embracer arm managing Middle-earth Enterprises and its licenses.
“Twenty years ago, New Line achieved an unprecedented path to bring the incredible stories, characters and world of The Lord of the Rings to life on the big screen. The result was a historic series of films that have been embraced by generations of fans. But for all the scope and lovingly packaged detail in both trilogies, the vast, complex, and dazzling universe imagined by JRR Tolkien remains largely unexplored on film. The opportunity to invite fans deeper into the cinematic world of Middle-earth is an honor, and we are thrilled to partner with Middle-earth Enterprises and Embracer on this adventure. say Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy of Warner Bros. Discovery.
Another question: Will Peter Jackson be back to direct these projects ? The director, who had declined the offer ofAmazon to get involved in his story in the Second Age, indicated alongside his partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, that he had been made aware of the signing of the contract between Warner Bros. Discovery And Embraceand that it would be happy to discuss the future with them.
Warner Bros. and Embracer kept us informed every step of the way. We look forward to speaking with them to hear their vision for the franchise moving forward.
For memory, New Line Cinema must already offer the animated film The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim in 2024. And for the rest, we will certainly have to be very patient before seeing any production materialize. For the nostalgic, the trilogy The Lord of the Rings is available on Blu-ray from €31.58 on Amazon.co.uk.
