#middle-earth

There is a good chance. I'm not able to officially say anything until it's announced, but I will say I'm thrilled with the prospect of another film. I certainly wouldn't want anybody else to play Frodo either as long as I'm alive and able.

That's what Canadian artist John Howe has done, following in the footsteps of Bilbo, Frodo, and other characters from J. R. R. Tolkien's works from Bag End, the two hobbits' home in the Shire, to Mordor, Sauron's dark realm, visiting along the way places as famous (and some as ominous) to Tolkien fans as Rivendell, Isengard, Khazad-dum, Minas Tirith, Edoras, and Helm's Deep.

Tolkien's extensive notes and legendarium building created Middle-earth as a character, culminating in a detailed backstory lasting over 6,500 years across three ages.
