"Yesssss, Precious. The time has come once more to venture into the unknown with my dear friends, the extraordinary and incomparable guardians of Middle-earth Peter, Fran and Philippa," said Serkis in a statement. "With Mike and Pam, and the Warner Bros team on the quest as well, alongside WETA and our film making family in New Zealand, it's just all too delicious..."

Meanwhile, Peter Jackson, who helmed the last LOTR movies as well as its spinoff, "The Hobbit", will be involved "every step of the way" alongside his writing partners, Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh.

"It is an honour and a privilege to travel back to Middle-earth with our good friend and collaborator, Andy Serkis, who has unfinished business with that stinker - Gollum!" Jackson, Boyens and Walsh said in a statement. "As lifelong fans of Professor Tolkien's vast mythology, we are proud to be working with [WBD film chiefs] Mike De Luca, Pam Abdy and the entire team at Warner Bros. on another epic adventure!"
The previous trilogy made USD 2.98 billion at the box office
