The spotlight is already on the new film in the saga Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is already one of the most anticipated titles of the next few years, because it will bring us back to Middle Earth and apparently in the company of already known faces. In recent days stars like Ian McKellen and Orlando Bloom have opened the door to the possibility of returning to the Gandalf and Legolas’s clothesbut now it’s the same director and actor Andy Serkis to reveal some new details.
For starters, the film might not be called The Hunt for Gollum. What was revealed in the announcement could in fact change: «AND a working title – he said during an appearance at ACE Superhero Comic Con 2024 – It may not end up being called that. It will show Middle Earth from the perspective of Gollum’s experience though.».
Curiously, as we told you, a film like this already exists, even if fan-made. Whatever the title, Lord of the Rings fans above all want to know which actors will return to take on the roles of their respective characters from Peter Jackson’s trilogy. On this topic, Andy Serkis was less open…
«It’s very early – he said – it would be unfair to comment on anything at this point. But he will say it will be a nice dive into the character of Gollum. Perhaps we will also recognize some other characters who will return, but I won’t say who…». Never mind, Andy, we’ll take care of the theories from here on out!
Recently, the same manufacturer Peter Jackson intervened to explain why they chose to start with Gollum, underlining the importance of the character for the franchise Lord of the Rings. «It has always fascinated me because Gollum reflects the worst of human naturewhile his Sméagol side is probably quite nice” said the director.
What do you think? Are you enthusiastic? We remind you that The Hunt for Gollum (or whatever the title will be) will come in theaters in 2026.
