Gollum actor Andy Serkis is on board to direct and star in the new movie
A new Lord of the Rings film is officially in the works, and it will feature some key personnel from both the original trilogy and the Hobbit trilogy. However, it won’t be original director Peter Jackson in the chair, but rather Gollum actor Andy Serkis . The film will be titled Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum , and will have Jackson and his partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens on board as producers. Serkis will direct and star in the film as the titular corrupted hobbit.
This is the first of two upcoming films made in collaboration with Jackson, Walsh, and Boyens, and hopefully it’s good, because the character of Gollum could use a win right now. Last year, the former Hobbit starred in his own game from Daedalic Entertainment which Kotaku deemed one of the worst games of 2023. Jackson and Serkis’ return and involvement at a leadership level is promising, as Gollum has always been a favorite part of those original movies from the early aughts.
