Warner Brothers execs Jason De Luca and an unidentified female exec + 2 Embracer representatives met with Peter Jackson in Wellington, NZ in January 2024. They had last met in early 2023.
They loosely pitched some ideas to the veteran Middle-earth director including ‘Young Aragorn’ & ‘Young Gandalf’ Movies
Peter Jackson allegedly advised against the idea of these *Origin Stories* to the execs, but that if they went ahead with that concept then he would always be there for advice if needed.
Now the latest update from today is that Warner Brothers listened to Peter Jackson with “The Hunt for Gollum” being the first movie and not going Origin Story route and he is now involved as a producer.
