This sounds like part of the plan The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum Just bring it Ian McKellen Back to Gandalf. The actor has made it clear that he wants to return and is just waiting for the script.
McKellen provided another update on the movie, as the media loves to keep asking him questions about it. He explained that a script for the film should be out next year, and said he’s also heard it will be two movies.
MacLean told This Morning: “Well, all I know is they called me and said these movies were coming out, [they’re] Mainly about Guru, Andy Serkis Whoever plays Gollum will direct and the script will be released sometime in the new year […] Then I will decide whether to go back or not.
“I heard it’s two movies. I probably shouldn’t say that [laughs]. But I haven’t read the script and I don’t know when it will be shot or even where it will be shot.
McKellen continued: “But I do. I’d love to go back. I’d love to go back to New Zealand and be No. 1. I don’t like the idea of other people playing, either. [Gandalf]”.
Peter Jackson is producing the film with his partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Bones who will co-write the script Phoebe Gittins and Artie Papagio. Andy Serkis is directing.
Various Middle-Earth movies will “explore storylines that have yet to be told,” and this particular film will apparently focus on Gollum. As you might imagine, there may be some familiar faces popping up in the movie, and one of the most important is Gandalf.
In a previous interview, Jackson talked about the story they wanted to tell and provided some insight into why they wanted to tell the tragic story of Gollum.
Jackson explains: “The character of Gollum/Smeagol has always fascinated me because Gollum reflects the worst in human nature, and his Smeagol side can be said to be very compassionate.
“I think he has the same connection with readers and moviegoers because there’s a little bit of both of those things in all of us. We really wanted to explore his backstory and delve deeper into his journey that we didn’t have time to do in the earlier films. those parts introduced in .
“It’s too early to know who will encounter him, but suffice to say we will be continuing Professor Tolkien’s leadership.”
Do you think these new Middle-Earth movies will be able to live up to the standard of epic filmmaking that Jackson achieved in the original trilogy?
