Catch Lord of the Rings' "The Hunt for Gollum" in December 2027!
"Andy Serkis' upcoming sequel to 'The Lord of the Rings' set for 2027 release" - "Lord of the Rings sequel starring Andy Serkis set for release in theaters during 2027"
Hey there, fantasy fans! Mark your calendars for a Middle-earth adventure - the theatrical release of "Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum" is slated for December 2027! Yeah, you heard it right - it's time to gear up for another epic journey in J.R.R. Tolkien's magical world.
Originally set for a 2026 debut, the new date gives us a bit more time to dive deep into our hobbit holes and prepare for this thrilling addition to the franchise. You know, just like those iconic Peter Jackson films that stole the spotlight around Christmas.
Notably, we've got some new leadership this time around. While Peter Jackson, who directed the original Lord of the Rings trilogy, will serve as a producer alongside his wife, Fran Walsh, the director's chair this time goes to none other than the legendary British actor Andy Serkis (61)! Known for his unforgettable performance as Gollum, Serkis is stepping up to the plate to helm the project and reprise his iconic role as Sméagol.
This isn't Serkis' first rodeo when it comes to directing, either. He made his directorial debut with the romantic drama "Breathe" in 2018 and followed it up with "Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle" and "Venom: Let There Be Carnage."
If you're a bit hazy on the details, let's jog your memory - "The Lord of the Rings" served as the basis for Jackson's three-part adaptation: "The Fellowship of the Ring" (2001), "The Two Towers" (2002), and "The Return of the King" (2003), which went on to win numerous Oscars, with "The Return of the King" snagging eleven awards. Jackson also helmed three Hobbit films, hitting theaters between 2012 and 2014.
So fasten your seatbelts, folks! The hunt for Gollum is on, and we can't wait to see what surprises this new chapter has in store for us. We'll catch ya on the flip side, buddies!
