Apart from “The Hunt for Gollum”, another project under the “Lord of the Rings” universe in the pipeline is “Shadow of the Past”, which will be written by Philippa Boyens, Stephen Colbert, and Peter McGee. The film will be produced by WingNut Films in association with Spartina Industries.
Notably, to mark the 25th anniversary of “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” in 2026, Fathom Entertainment brought the original trilogy back to the theatres. This milestone serves as a reminder of the franchise's staggering commercial power, with New Line Cinema’s six-film Middle-earth saga, spanning “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit”, earning nearly $6 billion in global box office sales.
