Lord of the Rings: ‘The Hunt for Gollum’ is Still in Works.
A New ‘Lord of the Rings’ Film Set For 2026
Fans of the Lord of the Rings franchise are in for a treat as the producers announced a new film ‘The Hunt for Gollum’ which is set to be released in 2026. The new films are expected to explore storylines yet to be told.
While the project is still in its early stages, and writers are working on scripts, Warner Bros has given producers the green light to go for it. This new “Lord of the Rings” will focus on Andy Serkis’ Middle-Earth character.
Like the previous Lord of the Rings films, this new one will be filmed in New Zealand and Serkis said they will be working with WETA and their “film-making family in New Zealand” as they work on finalizing the script and pre-production before filming.
The “Lord of the Rings” is a fantasy film with its franchise considered one of the most successful movies in cinema history. A report says that filmmakers conducted negotiations with the franchise rights holder Embercer Group AB, and plan to develop multiple other films based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s book series.
