Warner Bros. and New Line announced plans to make more The Lord of the Rings movies recently, leading many to wonder what the director and writers of the original trilogy have to say about that. Well, director Peter Jackson and writing partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens have weighed in.
In a statement to Deadline, the trio confirmed: “Warner Brothers and Embracer have kept us in the loop every step of the way.”
It sounds like very early days, though, as Jackson, Walsh, and Boyens said they look forward to the opportunity to speak with WB and Embracer to “hear their vision for the franchise moving forward.”
