Warner Bros' new Lord of the Rings movies will follow a Middle-earth tale not covered by Peter Jackson's films—so it could be Beren and Lúthien.
Warner Bros has some new Lord of the Rings movies in the works, and they could potentially tell one of Tolkien's most iconic love stories. Peter Jackson's film trilogy missed out on many aspects of Middle-earth's history, which means several possibilities for the mysterious new films. One such story holds great importance within Lord of the Rings canon and in author J.R.R.
Beren & Lúthien Is Tolkien’s Greatest Middle-Earth Love Story Though the story of Beren and Lúthien happened long before the events of The Lord of the Rings, it still held great importance within Tolkien's original books. It was mentioned several times throughout Frodo's journey and was told in full by Aragorn while he and the hobbits rested at Weathertop.
Devastated by the death of her love, Lúthien became so depressed that she died in her grief and passed on to the Halls of Mandos in Valinor. Typically, when an elf met this fate in The Lord of the Rings, their immortal souls would receive a new body, and they would continue on in Valmar. However, Lúthien had no desire to live without Beren. Her sadness was so strong that it moved Mandos to return both her and Beren to life—but only if she sacrificed her immortality.
The LOTR Books Told Beren & Lúthien’s Tale Adapting various stories of Middle-earth into movies is complicated since the Tolkien Estate holds the rights to anything outside the original Lord of the Rings books. This is the reason for all the changes in Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, since the series can only cover events of the First and Second Ages mentioned in the books .
