The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is, maybe unsurprisingly, supposedly going to be break up into two movies, in accordance with Ian McKellen.
It looks as if Warner Bros is trying to proceed its custom of stretching out Lord of the Rings movies into barely too lengthy with its subsequent undertaking, The Hunt for Gollum – you may keep in mind that The Hobbit was become a trilogy, regardless of there not being fairly sufficient e book to truly handle that, however hey ho, there’s cash to be made. And there is much more cash to be made, because the Gollum-centric movie introduced earlier this yr will apparently be two movies. This comes from Gandalf himself, Ian McKellen, who not too long ago made an look on ITV’s This Morning the place he was requested about whether or not he’ll be showing within the movie.
The actor not too long ago had an accident throughout a efficiency of a play he is at the moment part of, main him to take a little bit of day without work work to recuperate, and was in flip requested if he’ll be in it. “All I do know is that they referred to as me up and stated these movies have been going to occur, primarily to be about Gollum, Andy Serkis who performed Gollum’s going to direct, and there could be a script arriving someday within the new yr, after which I am going to choose whether or not I wish to return,” McKellen shared, reiterating earlier feedback. He went on to say he would love to return again, and when requested if it might simply be one movie, he shared “I am instructed it is two movies.”
That clearly is not set in stone simply but, as if a script will not even be in McKellen’s fingers till subsequent yr issues might change fairly quickly. I am additionally not solely certain how a hunt for Gollum might even be attention-grabbing for 2 movies, however hey, who is aware of higher than executives that prefer to make cash, proper?
