Heres some very interesting news which comes from Daily Radar:

A source close to Electronic Arts indicates to DailyRadar.com that the publishing titan is bidding for the LotR license from New Line Cinema.

Several EA business development specialists met with New Line to talk game license while in Los Angeles for the E3 show last month.

Our source was unsure who else is in the running for the LotR license.

If EA secures the rights, it will be for a game or games based solely on the movie of the Lord of the Rings, as New Line does not possess the rights for games based on the books.
