Elijah Wood, who played Frodo in Peter Jackson's films, shares a mixed reaction to the new Lord of the Rings movies, expressing mostly surprise.
Elijah Wood unpacks his mixed reaction to the recently-announced Lord of the Rings movies. Wood played the brave young hobbit Frodo Baggins who is tasked with taking the One Ring to Mount Doom in Peter Jackson's landmark Lord of the Rings trilogy, based on J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy novel. Because of how highly-regarded Jackson's trilogy is and how well it has held up over time, it was surprising when Warner Bros.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Now, shortly after the new Lord of the Rings movies were announced, Wood is reacting to the studio's plans in a profile by GQ. The Lord of the Rings star's reaction is mixed, saying he is both “surprised" and “fascinated.” While Wood says the motivation to make more movies is "a desire to make a lot of money,” he recognizes that "great art can come from commerce.

And, again, not begrudging anybody because, of course, it is commerce. But great art can come from commerce. So those two things are not mutually exclusive.
[Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy] didn’t come out of that place. It came out of a passion for these books and wanting to see them realized. And I hope that that is ultimately what will drive everything forward with whatever these subsequent movies are. I just hope that it’s the same motivating factor at its core, whenever they hire a screenwriter and a filmmaker—that it is with reverence for Tolkien’s material and enthusiasm to explore it.
Everything We Know About The New Lord of the Rings Movies The only thing that's been confirmed about the new Lord of the Rings movies is there will be "multiple" movies based on the works of Tolkien – both The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. They will likely be unrelated to other Middle-earth media, including Amazon Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and the upcoming anime film The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.
