Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav announced during the company’s call to discuss its Q4 2022 earnings results that New Line Cinema and Warner Bros Pictures have a new multi-year agreement with Embracer Group AB’s Middle-Earth Enterprises to team up on new The Lord of the Rings movies.

Currently in production with New Line and Warner Bros Animation is the original anime, "The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim." The anime is set 183 years before the events in The Lord of the Rings and tells the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan. The anime is set to open theatrically on April 12th, 2024.

“Following our recent acquisition of Middle-earth Enterprises, we’re thrilled to embark on this new collaborative journey with New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures, bringing the incomparable world of J.R.R. Tolkien back to the big screen in new and exciting ways,” Lee Guinchard, CEO of Embracer Group’s operative group Freemode, said in a statement today. “We understand how cherished these works are, and working together with our partners at New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures, we plan to honor the past, look to the future, and adhere to the strongest level of quality and production values.”

“Twenty years ago, New Line took an unprecedented leap of faith to realize the incredible stories, characters, and world of The Lord of the Rings on the big screen. The result was a landmark series of films that have been embraced by generations of fans,” Warner Bros Pictures Group co-chairs and CEOs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy said. “But for all the scope and detail lovingly packed into the two trilogies, the vast, complex, and dazzling universe dreamed up by J.R.R. Tolkien remains largely unexplored on film. The opportunity to invite fans deeper into the cinematic world of Middle-earth is an honor, and we are excited to partner with Middle-earth Enterprises and Embracer on this adventure.”
