The Lord of the Rings: The hunt for Gollum release date: December 2027

Gollum will officially return to the big screen for Christmas 2027. Warner Bros. has announced that Andy Serkis’ “The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum” is opened in the theaters Jake Gyllenhaal, Phoebe Dynevor and Ashley Walters play in Shyamalans.

The publication date for “The Hunt for Gollum” is hardly surprising in view of all six films in Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” films, which were opened in December before the Christmas holidays. Each trilogy was 2.9 billion dollars on the global box office.

Warner Bros. announced “The Hunt for Gollum” for the first time last summer and said it was ready for cinemas in 2026. The film was delayed by one year. Serkis leads the tent pole and plays again in the title role that he has been playing over Motion Capture since 2002. “The Lord of the Rings: The two towers”. Serkis’ control efforts include “Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle” and “Venom: Let’s there it carnage”.

The original Trilogy filmmaker “The Lord of the Rings”, Peter Jackson, and his partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens produce the new film. Warner Bros. emphasized when he announced “Gollum” that the trio “will be involved every step of the way”.

Boyens told the Empire Magazine that “The Hunt for Gollum” is a “fairly intensive story” that “falls after the birthday party of Bilbo and before Moria’s mines. It is a specific part of the incredible, unbelievable story, told by the perspective of this incredible creature.” Original actor of “Rings” such as Ian McKellen (Gandalf), Orlando Bloom (Legolas) and Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) have all expressed interest in returning for the new film if the story is sensible for their characters, although no additional casting has been confirmed.

“The Lord of the Rings” franchise was last in the cinemas in December 2024 with the release of the anime film “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirirrim”. “Gollum” will be the first live action film “Rings” since 2014 “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Arme”.
