WB/New Line are making new LOTR movies and it appears the companies have major plans for the future.
A source toldThe Hollywood Reporterthat, “Warner Bros. hopes to turn LOTR into a Star Wars-like franchise.”
Star Wars, for example, includes movies, TV shows, and countless other adaptations and merchandising.
For what it’s worth, LOTR does a lot of those same things already.
Tolkien remains largely unexplored on film.
They were left out of participation with The Rings of Power.
Whether or not any of these ideas get made into films is unknown.
