The Hunt for Gollum, the feature film by Andy Serkis focused on his character The Lord of the ringscould see changes in its title, and that’s not the only surprise.
The Lord of the rings It has become a franchise with a lot to explore, as we have seen in the field of video games. A few weeks ago, Warner announced the entry into pre-production of The Hunt of Gollum (The hunt for Gollum), a prequel to the original trilogy of Peter Jackson which will be directed by Andy Serkis.
Although there is not much information about the project on a creative level, it is speculated that the film takes place between the events of The Hobbit and those of The Lord of the ringswith Gollum as the center of the story.
One of the first aspects that generated controversy was the title of The Hunt of Gollumwhich is identical to that of a 2009 fan film directed by Chris Bouchard.
Immediately, this coincidence led many to think about the imminent comparisons between the two stories, which is very likely behind a potential change in the movie by Andy Serkis.
The hunt for Gollum could feature well-known characters
The actor and filmmaker has been chatting with The Pop Versewhere he has revealed that the current title does not have to be the definitive one for the new film The Lord of the rings. It has also hinted at the return of well-known characters to the public.
“The Hunt for Gollum is a working title and may not end up being called that. It’s very early days, it would be unfair to commit to anything at this point.
I will say that it will be a deep dive where we will investigate the character of Gollum. There may be characters we recognize who could return, but I’m not going to say which ones.“.
It should be noted that The hunt for Gollum It is a project that is still in its infancy. The creative process can take very different paths as it progresses. Gandalf and Aragorn They are candidates who have already been talked about, although a lot has happened since they played the characters in the saga.
