‘The Lord of the Rings‘ is one of the most successful film franchises of all time. Helmed by Peter Jackson, the series was a massive critical and financial success. With a $2.991 billion global box office collection, it is one of the highest-grossing film series of all time.
This is why Warner Bros. wants to continue making more films from the works of writer J. R. R. Tolkien. Recently, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav announced multiple films based on Tolkien’s work. So let’s find out the details of this upcoming slate of LOTR films.

Jackson and his collaborators Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens have said, “We look forward to speaking with them further to hear their vision for the franchise moving forward.”
Last year, after Amazon bought MGM, they came up with LOTR’s prequel series titled ‘The Rings of Power.’ Made on a whopping budget of more than $450 million, the series met with mixed to positive responses.
No director is currently attached to the project and not a lot of detail is known right now. But it would be interesting to see how things pan out, knowing the mixed response to Jackson’s later middle-earth trilogy ‘The Hobbits.’
