Everything We Know About the Next ‘Lord of the Rings’ Movie

Middle-earth is returning to cinemas with The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, the first new live-action film in Peter Jackson’s established screen universe since The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.

The project combines major returning characters with a recast Aragorn and several newly created figures. Important questions remain unanswered, but its story, release date and principal cast are now taking shape.
