Warner Bros has announced a new movie, The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, set to release in theaters on December 17, 2027.
The movie will focus on Gollum's story between Bilbo's Birthday Party and the entry of the Fellowship into the Mines of Moria, directed by Andy Serkis and produced by Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens, and Fran Walsh.
The storyline involves Aragorn and Gandalf hunting for Gollum after realizing the significance of the ring he possesses.
There are concerns about whether the character of Gollum can sustain a full movie, especially considering the challenges faced by a previous Gollum-focused video game. Expectations include the presence of CGI orcs similar to The Hobbit movies.
