Peter Jackson to direct new ‘Lord of the Rings’ films after Amazon Prime snub – Agency (AFP)
These early hours of March have been exciting for fans of the middle ground created by JRR Tolkienbecause news has been released about the future of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ franchise, confirming that Warner Bros. will be making more movies, and apparently this studio wants award-winning director Peter Jackson back at the helm.
Without a doubt, millions of fans adore Peter Jackson in charge of new films by ‘The Lord of the Rings’, because he is the director who directed the six original films of this saga, therefore, with what is shown in the Amazon Prime Video series, ‘The Rings of Power’, seems to be the only one who can offer fans what they want.
It’s important to mention that Warner Bros. hasn’t confirmed at this time Peter Jackson as director of the new films of ‘The Lord of the Rings’, however, after the announcement of these new tapes, the award-winning director emphasized that he is in talks with this film studio and according to various reports, these talks would be part of the agreement to direct these productions.
It is worth mentioning that this approach to Warner Bros Peter Jackson comes after the director revealed the slight that Amazon Prime Video gave him with the making of “The Rings of Power”, because, before launching this title, the platform approached this award-winning director to ask for his opinion on the scripts, however, these never came.

As for what the new films will feature, it hasn’t been revealed what storyline they will tackle, since it shouldn’t be forgotten that the literary universe created by Tolkien it’s huge, and Warner Bros, like Amazon Prime Video, only owns the rights to part of it, which means that these films should be set in the era of ‘The Hobbit’ or ‘Lord of the Rings’.
A saga like ‘Star Wars’ for ‘Lord of the Rings’
Likewise, the various reports indicate that Warner Bros, now that it is in a reorganization process, would bet on “The Lord of the Rings” to transform this franchise into a saga similar to Star Wars, that is, it would grow with new films and series such as Lucasfilm did on Disney+.
What is a fact is that ‘The Lord of the Rings’ is one of the most important franchises in the history of cinema, which begins to move its streaming steps with ‘The Rings of Power’, a literary creation that has the potential to grow significantly with new productions, and apparently Peter Jackson it would be essential for this.
