After playing Gollum in Peter Jackson’s trilogy and also in the trilogy of Hobbit, Andy Serkis will be stepping behind the camera to direct the next film in the Lord of the Rings universe, The Hunt for Gollum expected in 2026. If two films had been announced, We can count on Ian McKellen, the actor who plays Gandalf, to share with us some valuable information and details about the project.
Lord of the Rings fans are in for a treat
It can be said that the film project produced by Peter Jackson is rather vague… What we know is that JRR Tolkien fans will have the chance to discover on the big screen in 2026 a new film by Lord of the Rings titled The Hunt for Gollum. Before that, they will be able to see the animated feature film The Rohirrim War which is scheduled for release in theaters on December 11th. On the plot side, the producer had revealed that The Hunt for Gollum will focus on the personality of Sméagol/Gollum as well as his journey which spans a period of 18 years. ….
The adaptation is likely to be complicated to say the least. We knew that two new films from Lord of the Rings had been announced but No one knew if these two productions would tell independent arcs.. For further details, We can count on Ian McKellen, the essential interpreter of Gandalf to offer them to us.
Ian McKellen Drops Valuable Details About The Hunt for Gollum
Indeed, in a recent interview, The actor tried to give us some details about this very secret project.. So, for This MorningMcKellen said:
I was told there would be two movies. I probably shouldn’t say this, but I haven’t read the script, I don’t know when it’s coming out, and I don’t even know where it’s going to be shot.
The actor had not hidden his desire to return as Gandalf in this future project The Lord of the Rings. But today, even if we don’t know if he will be there, Ian McKellen announces that The Hunt for Gollum could therefore be divided into two parts. It wouldn’t be surprising if this were the case since the franchise has already done it with the films. The Hobbit. The other question that fans may ask is the interest of proposing two chapters for this story.
In The Fellowship of the Ringat the Council of Elrond, Aragorn said that there was “no need to tell much“what he experienced when he was hunting Gollum. A line that suggests there wouldn’t be enough content to produce two parts. Let’s hope that with Jackson producing, Serkis directing and as Gollum as well as McKellen returning, this trio offers us a great show.
