"Gollum. He's tracked us since Moria. I had hoped we'd lose him on the river, but he's too clever a waterman".

"And if he alerts the enemy to our whereabouts, it'll make the crossing even more dangerous".

All shot practically using real figures, foil for water, cotton wool for clouds, rocks from the garden for mountains, a real bit of tree bark for the log and a couple of bookends.

New "Lord of the Rings" movie coming in 2026:

  • Peter Jackson to produce
  • Andy Serkis to direct
  • Working title is “Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum”

Presumably, Andy Serkis will still do the motion capture acting and voice work for Gollum?

Or will AI have taken over by then?

At last maybe we'll learn what happens to Gollum after The Return of the King.

“The Hunt for Golum”? Of all LOTR, people want more Golum stories, WBD?

Oh, I just realized the Saruman returned as in the Scouring of the Shire in the last few chapters of The Lord of the Rings.

It was a long drive last night, and an early start this morning, but I'm at ComicCon, ready to get my Lord of the Rings geek on.

J.R.R. Tolkien’s Little-Known Original Drawings for the First Edition of “The Hobbit” By Maria Popova

"...People have celebrated Tolkien as a writer for years — you haven’t been able to get away from him since all the books of the century polls. But The Lord of the Rings has always been the focus since it was published in 1954 — it’s a much more grown-up, significant book. It has overshadowed The Hobbit as a more old-fashioned, children’s book, which has become known in the context of The Lord of the Rings. The anniversary allows us to move the spotlight back on to the book which started it all.

A rare piece of cross-disciplinary creativity from the mind of one of modern history’s greatest creators, The Art of the Hobbit is equal parts literary treasure and treat of art, exploring the notion of the author as designer — a particularly timely concept in the age of self-publishing and disciplinary cross-pollination in the making of books..."
