Andy Serkis has confirmed that filming has wrapped on *The Hunt for Gollum*, the new *Lord of the Rings* film he is directing and in which he will reprise Gollum. The production milestone brings the film closer to its planned cinema release on 17 December 2027.

The story is set between events in *The Fellowship of the Ring*, as Aragorn searches for Gollum at Gandalf’s request to learn more about the One Ring. Elijah Wood and Ian McKellen return as Frodo and Gandalf, while Jamie Dornan takes over Aragorn; newcomers include Kate Winslet, Leo Woodall and Anya Taylor-Joy. Dornan said he finished his scenes about three weeks ago.
