Feb 23, 2023 · New Line Cinema, which produced Peter Jackson's acclaimed Lord of the Rings film trilogy in the early 2000s, is also part of the deal as a film label of Warner Bros. Jackson and New Line...
The Silmarillion. This is huge news because pretty much no one thought that this adaptation would ever come to fruition. Also, it’s even better news that Peter Jackson is reportedly being put in charge of The Silmarillion adaptation, as Jackson has the experience and the love of the source material to bring it to life.
The reality, however, is that The Silmarillion will most probably remain unfilmed. As Peter Jackson explained recently at a press conference at Comic-Con International: “J.R.R. Tolkien sold the film rights to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings in the 1960s. The Silmarillion wasn’t written yet.

The One Ring isn’t the only ring of importance to make an appearance in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Throughout the three films, Aragorn can be seen wearing a particular ring shaped into the form of two serpents and adorned with an emerald centerpiece. While this ring is noticeable throughout the films, it is given a specific reference in the Ext...
The inclusion of the Balrog is one of the few major direct connections to the First Age in The Lord of the Rings. The Fellowship of the Ring encounters the Balrog, referred to as Durin’s Bane, in the Mines of Moria. It is said that the Dwarves had awoken the Balrog in the depths of their mines after delving “too greedily and too deep.” After being ...
The swords of Sting and Glamdring are prominently featured throughout both the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies. They were found in a troll hoard during Bilbo Baggin’s adventure in The Hobbit, after which Sting became the sword wielded by Bilbo (and later on Frodo) and Glamdring was wielded by Gandalf. In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, a ...
The tale of Beren and Lúthien is one of the most well-known stories of the First Age. It is one of the few true love stories that Tolkien wrote, as it was inspired by his own relationship with his wife. The reference to this story can be found early in the Extended Edition of The Fellowship of the Ring. After Aragorn and the hobbits depart from the...
One of the most easily-missed references to the overall world of Middle-Earth comes from The Two Towers, and it is also one of the most significant. This reference comes midway through the film after Aragorn falls from a cliff and is believed dead by his companions. As he floats down a river and washes up along the shoreline, he has a vision of Arw...
As the Fellowship of the Ring passes through Lothlórien in the first Lord of the Rings film, each of them is gifted a specific item to aid them in their journey by Galadriel. To Frodo, she gives a phial of light, known as the Phial of Galadriel, which she says contains “the light of Eärendil, our most beloved star.” Frodo eventually uses this light...
The Palantír is the mystical black sphere that is seen throughout The Lord of the Rings, chiefly through its use by Saruman. It was one of seven stones of its kind, which were used to communicate with each other over long distances. It is through the use of the Palantír that Saruman communicates with Sauron. It's also implied in the films, and dire...
This is a brief reference in The Fellowship of the Ring that is easy to dismiss as just cool dialogue, but it is actually one of the more substantive references throughout the Lord of the Rings trilogy. During his showdown with the Balrog, Gandalf shouts at the demon, saying “I am a servant of the Secret Fire. Wielder of the Flame of Anor. The dark...
In the Return of the King film, there is one particularly ugly Orc who serves as the chief of Sauron’s forces during his assault upon Minas Tirith. This Orc is named Gothmog, which is a reference to another chief lieutenant of evil from the First Age. In The Silmarillion, Gothmog is the name given to Morgoth’s High Captain of Angband. He was the gr...
During the Siege of Minas Tirith in The Return of the King, the forces of Sauron fail to break down the doors to the city with a traditional battering ram. This results in them bringing out “the wolf’s head,” an enormous fiery battering ram they have affectionately named “Grond.” This is a two-for-one reference, as both the name and design of this ...
