If you are not living under a pop culture rock, you must be aware that Warner Bros has greenlighted a brand new Harry Potter series plan. Amid the excitement, fans now wonder if Hollywood’s another major fantasy movie franchise would make a comeback. Yes, they are talking about Lord Of The Rings. Interestingly, not just the fans, but Elijah Wood, who played Frodo Baggins in the trilogy, has also reacted to the prospect of new LOTR movies. Scroll on to learn more.

The Lord of The Rings franchise released three movies – The Fellowship of The Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return Of The King – in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The movies are based on the novel by J. R. R. Tolkien. It revolved around the chronicles of Frodo as he commenced his journey to destroy The Ring, which granted immense power to its wearer. While the last part of the franchise ended the story sans any cliffhangers, it is now a possibility that Warner Bros and New Lines will develop new LOTR movies. Elijah, who was recently seen in Yellowjackets, have mixed opinion about it.

In a recent interview with GQ, Elijah Wood shared his take on the new Lord Of The Rings movies, and he sounded a little concerned. He said, “I’m fascinated and I’m excited,” he said. “I hope it’s good. I’m surprised—I don’t know why I’m surprised because, of course, there would be more movies.” His major concern was that the new films should not miss the real essence of the story originally written by J. R. R. Tolkien. “Obviously at the core of that, is a desire to make a lot of money. It’s not that a bunch of executives are like, ‘Let’s make really awesome art,’” he added.
