Ian McKellen has confirmed that Andy Serkis’ upcoming “The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt For Gollum” will be split up into two films.
McKellen, who will be returning as Gandalf, explains that he still hasn’t read the script, but that it’s supposed to be by finished early next year. “I’m told it’s two films,” the actor told ITV’s This Morning.
It was recently reported that Serkis might be using AI to de-age his LOTR actors, which include McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom. The story of ‘Gollum’ is set only a few years after 2003’s “The Return of the King.”
