Warner Bros. is developing a new Lord of the Rings movie, 'Shadows of the Past,' with Stephen Colbert involved. The film will explore unseen events from 'The Fellowship of the Ring.'

Peter Jackson is not releasing an extended Lord of the Rings cut, but a documentary is planned. Expect behind-the-scenes footage and more Middle-earth content.
