It's a cross generation RPG being developed by Monolith Productions (F.E.A.R 1&2, Condemned 1&2, Guardians of Middle Earth). Considering their current track record for games it seems like they'll produce something enjoyable too though I believe this would be their first journey into RPG territory.
Not anything else is known other than the job listings and name, "Middle Earth: Shadow of Morder" but if it's a single player RPG which allows you to create your own character and jump around Middle Earth then it's what's everyone has been waiting for. (I realize LOTRO allows this but that's an MMO)
Despite some claims you often hear about LOTR games, there have been some great games. LOTR Return of the King was one of the few movie to game adaptions that was not only fun to play but scored highly. The Battle for Middle Earth series were great. War in the North was enjoyable and had solid combat mechanics. I understand LOTRO is regarded well too (although I could never get into it but then again, I don't really like MMO's).
All Monolith needs to do is build an open world like LOTRO's and add in War in the North combat (which they may be doing as Snowblind has merged with them) and they'll have a winner on their hands.
