Andy Serkis says that the hunt for the Goldlum will feel like the lord of the trilogy rings

Andy Serkis He officially returned to the ground of the middle of the land as an actor and director, and has just given a promising update on The Lord of the Rings: the hunt for the Goldlum. It is exactly the type of reassurance of the fans of the original trilogy they hoped.

In a recent interview with Collider while promoting his next adaptation of Animal farmSerkis shared that while the film is still in its early stages, the real movement is happening soon.

The preparation work is increasing in the coming months, with the filming that will begin between the beginning of mid 2026. The release is scheduled for December 2027. Serkis spoke of the film that said:

“We are very early in the trial. We talked about the film over the last year. We are about to start a period of preparation in the coming months.

“We will be shot in the initial part in the middle of next year, I imagine, and then it will take us to shoot, the che-is a considerable film-all ready for a version of December 2027.

“I am incredibly excited to go back and work with my friends and family in New Zealand and in reality I do something that, I believe, will be surprising, yet very part of the tradition and the feeling of the trilogy.

“His sensitivity will feel, I believe, close to that, yet we are investigating the character previously known as Smeagol, but mostly known as Gallum.”

Serkis aims at the same tone, flow and heart of Peter Jackson’S The Lord of the Rings trilogy. This should facilitate a little anxiety by intelligent fans from the irregular films of Hobbit or skeptics on other Tolkien spin-offs.

Set during the events of The company of the ring, Gollum hunting The search for Gandalf of Gollum follows after making the Bilbo ring is actually the only ring. It is an interquel that fills a crucial and Serkis gap, which will also resume its iconic role of Gollum, is the only member of the cast confirmed so far. But, Ian McKellen It should also come back.

Lord of the Rings Fans are rather protective for the legacy of the original trilogy. Expanding on that world is always a high level act. But Serkis is not hurrying. He is taking his time, is planning carefully and putting the project on the ground in what has made the originals so special. Its profound connection to the material, and with Gollum, in particular, makes it a guide only qualified for this chapter. Hoipe who pulls him away.

If this film offers what Serkis is promising, a journey focused on the character with the emotional and mythical weight of the trilogy, it could be a powerful return to form.
