When it comes to adaptations, Tolkien fans are used to waiting. There was a nine -year gap between "King's Return" and "Hobbit: Unexpected Travel". Ten years have passed between the Hobbit trilogy and Last year's anime -Rohirim War. Even the serialized middle country is slowly, with the "power rings" lasting for almost two years between each season of their second -age show. I suppose it is worth noting that none of this is as slow as Professor Tolkien, who lasted decades to produce new writing during his life and often did not publish the things he wrote. However, the fact is that things in this accident are slowly going.

Tolkien's weak nature of the adaptations meant it was no surprise when it was discovered that Warner Bros.. " The upcoming translation of a live country live with the "Golum hunting" action will last longer than expected to descend in theaters. How long? Try an extra year.

According to DirectlyThe fan Expo Vancouver 2025 panel, said Serkis, point blank:

"Yes, it's not 2026. It will initially be December 2026. It is December 2027."

For anyone who checks the IMDB lists and wonders why the film still has a release date of 2026 (from this writing), Serkiis explained that the unofficial release is simply due to the process of making Moviemem. He clarified that they are still starting to write the script and the production is planned for 2026 - the same year the film will initially come out. In his own words,

"We are right at the beginning of the writing process. Be prepared later this year. Prepared take a good time, six or seven months, and then we will shoot next year. So, returns to that date of release in December 2027."

The Golum Hunting project was announced in early 2024. Technically, there is very little concrete information about the film, except for the fact that Andy Serkis is the next to direct and repeat the role as the spoiled Smagol. Peter Acksexon is also on the ship as a producer, and the film was confirmed by the autumn of the middle country, Filip Boyens unique standalone live movie with action.

Although there is little else known for sure, hints and rumors have been abundant since the publication. As for the story, the most likely film candidate in downtown Golum is the one who follows Sinker's journey from Misti Mountains after his meeting with Bilbo, until he follows the Ring scholarship while heading to Mount Dium.

There is a lot to say at this point. Golum's frightening adventures are sketched in the book "Ring Scholarship" and occasionally invoke during the rest of the trilogy. They include Golum wandering towards the lake and Dale near the lonely mountain. He gained a reputation as a spirit that drinks blood in Mirkwood and eventually headed to Shire (leading some fans to Theorize that he may have even killed Frodo's parents). However, before he reached Shire, he headed south to Mordor, where Sauron bothered him and learns about a "one ring" fiasco. In the end, Aragorn follows, catches him and carries him in the kingdom of Wood-Elves in Mirkwood, where Gandalf asks him and even terrorizes him to get important information. In the end, he broke out of his Orks prison, encouraging Legolas to bring the news to the Elband Council. From there, he follows Frodo, Sam, and the ring, and the rest is history. While this has not been confirmed that Serkis, Acksexon and the company go with the story, it is the original material version of the events that most easily fit the concept of Gollum Prequel.

As for the cast for the new show, there are several potential opportunities for the original trilogy characters to return with Serkis for live foretelling. Ian McKellen has already left for record Saying he was in contact with the creative team behind the project (which can hint on another big screen like Gandalf).

Writer Philippe Boyens also clearly stated that she, Serkis and Acksexon, had everyone talked to Vigo MortensenAnd while nothing was official by no means, she said:

"We all talked to each other and honestly, I can't imagine anyone else playing Aragorn, but it will be completely and completely to Vigo."

Gimley's actor, Johnon Reese-Davis, also expressed interest in returning, As long as he didn't have to wear makeup, he is allergic (As was the case with the "Lord of the Rings"). Legolas actor Orlando Bloom also mentioned how he talked to Andy Serkis - and even There was some early controversy between Tolkien's Fandom When he took advantage of the idea that the production team is considering using AI to de-to-older actors.

Probably, others like actor Frodo, Elijah Wood and Sam Gamgi, actor John Astin could resort to the equation. But again, especially after the confirmation that the due date is imposed for at least 12 months, it is all too early speculation at the moment. I hope that all this will gather without much trouble and the fans do not wait too long, but based on the franchise history, you would not raise your hopes. As a wizard, this job will not be late, nor will it be early. Wille arrives precisely when it means.
