The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is, maybe unsurprisingly, supposedly going to be break up into two movies, in response to Ian McKellen.
It looks like Warner Bros is seeking to proceed its custom of stretching out Lord of the Rings movies into barely too lengthy with its subsequent venture, The Hunt for Gollum – you may do not forget that The Hobbit was changed into a trilogy, regardless of there not being fairly sufficient e book to really 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 lately 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 lately had an accident throughout a efficiency of a play he is presently 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 mentioned 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 come back again, and when requested if it might simply be one movie, he shared “I am advised 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 totally certain how a hunt for Gollum might even be fascinating for 2 movies, however hey, who is aware of higher than executives that wish to become profitable, proper?
