To be released December 17, 2027.
IMDb page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32328070/reference/
Current attached director: Andy Serkis (who played Gollum).
He hasn't directed many theatrical films. All of composer use for theatrical films so far:
Nitin Sawhney (three times)
Marco Beltrami (once)
So, unless there is a scheduling conflict, I imagine Nitin will get it.

Gallagher seems much more likely to me. They'll definitely want to tie this into the Howard Shore Middle Earth sound world, and unless they can get Shore himself...

Hopefully Howard Shore contributes at least a new theme for Gollum, like how he contributed the main title theme for The Rings of Power. Will he end up scoring the entire film? I don’t know. I liked the The Rings of Power soundtrack, so I’d be happy with Bear McCreary.
I don’t know anything about Nitin Sawhney, so I can’t comment there.
I am not very optimistic about the film itself. Andy Serkis is a talented guy when it comes to acting, but he has a bad track record as a director. It will be nice to see him return as Gollum, though. Peter Jackson and the two ladies who helped with the LOTR trilogy are involved (with Jackson just producing), as are those two people who wrote the screenplay for the lackluster anime film that came out a few months ago. Apparently there are going to be two films. Hopefully they’re unrelated to each other; we don’t want another Hobbit mess on our hands, now do we? The best case scenario is that the film ends up as a satisfactory addition to the Middle-earth corpus, but nothing more.
I hope that Ian McKellen returns as Gandalf. Christopher Lee was like ninety when he returned as Saruman in The Hobbit trilogy, so why not Ian McKellen? He’s (only!) eighty-five.
