Directed and starring Andy Serkis, with Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh as producers, and Philippa Boyens co -writing the script with Phoebe Gittins and Arty Papageorgiou, this new installment brings back to the original team behind the classic trilogy of the Middle Earth.
In addition, the study confirmed that a new Evil Dead movie is on its way. Starring Souheila Yacoub, it will be released on July 24, 2026. Among the producers are Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell, and it is rumored that the title will be Evil Dead Burn.
On the other hand, the next film by M. Night Shyamalan, entitled Remain And based on a story that Nicholas Sparks developed with the author, he will see the light on October 23, 2026, with Jake Gyllenhaal in the main role. The novel version will go on sale this October 7.
The release dates always generate enthusiasm because they represent the public confirmation that these films “are serious.” Even so, some unknowns persist. In hunting Gollum It is clear that Serkis will return as Gollum, but what will happen to key characters such as Aragorn or Gandalf? Although Viggo Mortensen and Ian McKellen have shown interest, there is still no official confirmation. And if they do not return, will you matter to fans if new actors are chosen for those papers?
In addition, the election to release in December is not accidental. The original films of The Lord of the Rings They premiered on December 19, 18 and 17 in their respective years. This date evokes a tradition and marks, symbolically, a “return of the king.” Interestingly, Disney also has marked that same date (December 17, 2027) for a movie without title of Star Warsbut that Warner has secured that day to Lord of the Rings It suggests that there will be no direct competition between both franchises.
As to Evil Deadit is striking that the official announcement did not include the rumored title. The director Sébastien Vaniček had referred to him last year … Was something changed?
And finally, there is doubt: will anyone be encouraged to read the novel of Remain Before watching the movie a year later? Nicholas Sparks fans surely yes, but Shyamalan’s followers are likely to wait for their visual interpretation before reading the story.
In short, very exciting years are coming for gender cinema. Which of these movies do you expect with more enthusiasm?
