Warner Bros. Discovery has announced a new live-action Lord of the Rings film titled "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum," with a tentative release date set for December 2027.

Key points from the article:

• The film is expected to explore storylines yet to be told, with the title heavily implying it will focus on Aragorn's hunt for Gollum, a significant event that occurs before the main events of The Fellowship of the Ring and is detailed in the appendices of Tolkien's work.
• This movie is the first of two new live-action recently announced by Warner Bros. Discovery.
• The project is currently in the early stages of script development.
• The announcement was made by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav during an earnings call.
