The future of Middle-earth on the big screen hangs on fan response to the upcoming 'Lord of the Rings' animated film and standalone spinoffs.

Producer Philippa Boyens reveals that a brand new 'Lord of the Rings' film trilogy could be in the works, but only if there's strong audience demand for more standalone Middle-earth stories like 'The War of the Rohirrim' and 'The Hunt for Gollum'.
Boyens says the 'Lord of the Rings' team has 'a ton of stories left to be told' in Tolkien's universe, and they're open to exploring more standalone adventures or returning to the epic trilogy format of the original films - it all depends on how fans respond to the upcoming releases.
