The official announcement is now more than confirmed: it will be released in 2026 The Lord of the Rings – The Hunt for Gollum, new film in the saga directed by Andy Serkis and produced by Peter Jackson. But when will filming begin? Let’s try to understand it together.
Let’s start with the fact that work on The Hunt for Gollum is currently in the pre-production phase, because the script according to official information has not yet been completed. It would be written by Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens together with Phoebe Gittins and Arty Papageorgiou (the screenwriters of the next animated film The Rohirrim War).
However, 2026 remains the release date at the moment, which means that filming must absolutely begin during 2025given that Gollum is at the center of the story there will then be a rather important post-production work, given that Andy Serkis will play the role again in motion capture.
However, it does not have a specific time window The Hunt for Gollum could easily be released at the end of 2026thus giving time to calmly shoot everything and finish post-production perhaps at the beginning of 2026.
There’s also been news that The Hunt for Gollum could last 2 films, which at this point could be shot back-to-back to flatten production costs. Here because a 2025 start for filming It’s very plausible.
And when do you think they will start filming? Tell us your opinion in the comments, even if the fan-film about The Hunt for Gollum had already said it all.
