Hartmann also made clear to IGN that this project is a brand new take on a Lord of the Rings MMO and won't be using any materials from the one Amazon cancelled in 2021. "It's completely new," he said.

Assuming the film will stick to the source material, "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum" should take place during the events of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".

A second season is on the way. An animated "Lord of the Rings" movie, "The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim," is also set for release by Warner Bros. on Dec. 13.

Right now, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is only available to watch in a movie theater, when the movie opens in the U.S. on December 13. You can find a showing near you via Fandango.
