The Hunt for Gollum reunites the creative team of the original trilogy. The film will be directed by Andy Serkis, who played the character of Gollum in the trilogy. Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens are contributing to the project as producers. Walsh and Boyens are also writing the film’s script.

Andy Serkis will reprise his role as Gollum, while Viggo Mortensen is expected to return to his roles as Aragorn, Ian McKellen as Gandalf, and Orlando Bloom as Legolas.
