A new Lord of the rings The film is officially in the works and will feature some key characters from both the original trilogy and the trilogy Hobbit Trilogy. However, it is not original director Peter Jackson who is in the chair, but Gollum actor Andy Serkis.
The film is titled Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollumand will have Jackson and his partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens on board as producers. Serkis will direct the film and star as a twisted hobbit. According to Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, who unveiled the film in a conference call on Thursday, May 9 (thanks, diversity), the film will “explore storylines that have yet to be told.” Faced with Gollum’s fate Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Kingthis film will probably be a prequel. The Hunt for Gollum is scheduled to hit theaters in 2026.
This is the first of two upcoming films made in collaboration with Jackson, Walsh and Boyens, and hopefully it’s a good one because the Gollum character could use a win right now. Last year, the former hobbit starred in his own game from Daedalic Entertainment My city is considered one of the worst games of 2023. The return of Jackson and Serkis and their involvement at the executive level is promising, as Gollum has always been a favorite part of those original films since the early 1970s.
