The Search for Gollum in The Lord of the Rings: An Epic Tale has experienced a shift in its release schedule, with Warner Bros. announcing it will now be shown on December 17, 2027. Here’s what you should know about this highly anticipated Middle-earth journey.
Why The Delay?
Originally scheduled for a 2026 premiere, “The Hunt for Gollum” has been delayed to provide the creative team additional time for fine-tuning the movie. Andy Serkis, who takes on dual roles as both reprising his legendary character Gollum and directing the project, announced that the film is still in its initial phases of creation. The script is currently being polished, with pre-production anticipated to commence later this year.
The long-awaited film titled ‘The Hunt for Gollum’ is set for release on December 17, 2027. Director Andy Serkis himself will guide us through this adventure, reprising his iconic role as the enigmatic Gollum.

What’s The Movie About?
In the timeframe spanning from Bilbo’s birthday celebration to the Fellowship’s expedition into the Mines of Moria, this movie concentrates on Aragorn and Gandalf as they pursue Gollum to thwart him from disclosing the mysteries of the One Ring to Sauron. This narrative serves to bridge an essential gap between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, delving further into Middle-earth’s captivating tale.
Who’s In The Cast?
It’s confirmed that Andy Serkis will reprise his role as Gollum, but the identities of the other cast members are still unknown. There are whispers that some stars from the original trilogy, such as Ian McKellen (as Gandalf) and Viggo Mortensen (as Aragorn), could potentially return, although no formal confirmations have been shared yet.
