“You carry the fate of us all, little one.” Fathom has revealed an official trailer to promote their upcoming screening series in January 2026 of the “Extended Editions” of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. For years now, Warner Bros has been running retrospective screenings of the beloved LOTR movies over and over. They’ve been re-released tons of times, they’re always back out in theaters (check your local listings), they’re also always touring the world with Live Concert versions as well. In January 2026, Fathom will show the full-on 3 1/2 hour Extended Edition versions (my favorites – the complete experience) in theaters – one each night for the final two weeks in January. This just seems like they needed to get some films on screens that will actually get audiences in January. Peter Jackson’s award-winning trilogy: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King. The Trilogy tells the story of a meek hobbit of The Shire and 8 companions setting out on a journey to Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring and the dark lord Sauron. Starring Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Cate Blanchett, John Rhys-Davies, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, and Hugo Weaving, plus so many others. ROTK is still my all-time favorite movie – they’re always worth a watch if they’re playing in a theater nearby.

Trailer for Fathom’s 2026 run of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Extended Editions, from YouTube:

A shy young hobbit named Frodo Baggins (starring Elijah Wood) inherits a simple gold ring. He knows the ring has power, but not that he alone holds the secret to the survival–or enslavement–of the entire world. Now Frodo, accompanied by a wizard, an elf, a dwarf, two men and three loyal hobbit friends, must become the greatest hero the world has ever known to save the land and the people he loves. Peter Jackson’s award-winning The Lord of the Rings Trilogy includes: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is directed by the acclaimed New Zealand filmmaker Peter Jackson, who had directed the movies Bad Taste, Meet the Feebles, Dead Alive, Heavenly Creatures, and The Frighteners before making these classics and changing the cinema forever in the process. All three movies are written by Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, & Peter Jackson. Adapted from The Lord of the Rings trilogy of books written by J.R.R. Tolkien. Fathom Entertainment will host viewings of Jackson’s LOTR Trilogy: Extended Editions in theaters exclusively in January 2026 – for 6 nights only. For more info + tickets, visit their official site.
