Summary
Cameras began rolling this week on The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, marking the franchise’s next theatrical film after years of speculation.
Andy Serkis is directing and starring as Gollum, while Peter Jackson shifts to a producer role and Warner Bros. unveiled a short announcement video.
Dec. 17, 2027 is the release date, with Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood and Lee Pace returning; Jamie Dornan replaces Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn, and Kate Winslet and Anya Taylor-Joy join the cast.
No official plot has been released, though the film is expected to unfold before and during The Fellowship of the Ring as Gandalf and Aragorn search for Gollum.
