Warner Bros to make new ‘Lord of the Rings’ films

American filmmaker Warner Bros. entered into an agreement with the Embracer Group, which owns the rights to the Lord of the Rings universe. Thanks to this, the American film giant will be able to start releasing new full-length films based on the already legendary trilogy based on the books of J. R. R. Tolkien.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the deal was sealed for a long time, thanks to which Warner Bros. will be able to work on a whole series of films in conjunction with New Line Cinema. These film companies contributed to Peter Jackson’s trilogy of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. And then the Hobbit trilogy, which includes An Unexpected Journey, The Desolation of Smaug and The Battle of the Five Armies.

There are no plans to shoot what has already been filmed, it will be about new episodes. It is not yet clear what exactly the film studios will do and what projects will be implemented in the first place.
