New Lord of the Rings Movie: Shadow of the Past

On March 25, Peter Jackson has announced a new Lord of the Rings movie called Shadow of the Past.

It's the first big screen story set after the original trilogy's perfect ending from J.R.R. Tolkien's books.

Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema confirmed it, with Jackson directing once more.

The film takes place 14 years after Frodo sails away from the Shire.

It follows Sam, Mary, and Pippin as they retrace their old adventure steps.

At the same time, Sam's daughter Eleanor, uncovers a buried secret about why the War of the Ring almost failed right from the start.

Screenwriting duties go to Phillipa Boins, from the original films, Newcomer Peter McGee, and Stephen Colbert, the huge middle-earth fan, and...

Late Night Host, fans may raise eyebrows at Colbert's involvement, but his passion could add a fresh touch.

This sequel steps into new ground beyond Tolkien's tales, unlike the other upcoming Lord of the Rings film, by Andy Circus, called The Hunt for Gollum.

Which sticks closer to the books. Shadow of the Past pushes the story forward into uncharted territory.

With these projects, middle-earth keeps expanding on screen, blending nostalgia with bold new risks that could thrill longtime fans.
