Andy Serkis to Direct ‘Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum’ Sequel with Original Team

Acclaimed actor and director Andy Serkis is set to direct a highly anticipated sequel in the beloved ‘Lord of the Rings‘ franchise alongside the original Oscar-winning team. Warner Bros. Discovery has announced the production of ‘Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum‘, with Serkis at the helm.

Having portrayed the iconic character Gollum in past ‘Lord of the Rings’ films, Serkis’s return as both director and potentially as the voice of Gollum has sparked immense excitement among fans.

The original trilogy, consisting of ‘The Fellowship of the Ring‘, ‘The Two Towers‘, and ‘The Return of the King‘, received numerous prestigious nominations and awards, including Oscars, Golden Globes, and BAFTAs, solidifying its place in cinematic history.

Andy Serkis, known for his work not only in ‘Lord of the Rings’ but also as the 2nd Unit Director in ‘The Hobbit‘ trilogy and as the director of ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage‘ in 2021, brings a wealth of experience and creativity to this new venture.
