A trailer has been released

A new Lord of the Rings trailer has dropped ahead of the trilogy's 25th anniversary return.

The iconic trilogy based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien will be returning to cinemas and distributed by Fathom Entertainment.

To announce the news to fans, a new trailer has been released to get fans excited to relive the entire 11.5 hours of Middle Earth extended edition magic all over again.

For now, the films only have a return date in US cinemas, with 16-19 and 23-25 January the all-important dates.

However, Empire wrote that they would be surprised if the films were not also shown in UK cinemas too to mark the anniversary which could hopefully mean Irish cinemas also.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was released on 19 December 2001 in Ireland.
