  • Gollum, an important character from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit novels, is getting his own movie. The film, produced by Warner Bros., will have Peter Jackson as the producer and Andy Serkis as the director. But why did they decide to make a movie about Gollum? What kind of story does Gollum have that is worth telling in detail? And what is The Hunt for Gollum?

    Tolkien said nothing about Aragorn feeling badly about his ancestor’s failure to destroy the ring. Nor did Aragorn have any animosity toward his family. He was a ranger and rangers were there to defend the people of Middle Earth from Sauron’s evil doings as he said at the Council of Elrond.
    Elrond had told Isildur to destroy the ring but Isildur could not at the time. They never went to Mt Doom as it shows in the movie. Isildur went and looked into the history of the ring and then decided that it would be best to give it to the “Wise Ones,” meaning the elves. He was on his way to do that when he was attacked and killed by Orks.
    Isildur was not the evil person that Jackson made him out to be and Aragorn wanted to be king. It was the only way that he could marry the elf of his dreams, Arwen. Elrond had told him that he could only marry his daughter if he was king of both realms.
    Jackson changed the personalities of every one of the heroes of that story for the worst. He claimed that the heroes that Tolkien had wrote about were “too good” and he could not present them that way. Sad.
    What will Jackson do this time? Since he has no real story to go by (not that he would) I would suppose that he will come up with all kinds of un-Tolkien stuff just like he did for the other movies. Everyone that was involved with that movie is over twenty years older now. Andy can be digitalized but would they do that with the others or get look alike? I’m afraid to see to tell you the truth.

    A new Gollum movie only works if they show him as little as possible. The focus needs to be on the "instigators" on both sides: Gandalf & Aragorn vs. Sauron, et al.
    If they approach it like a "whodunit" - something akin to a Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson vs. Moriarty, with Gollum being a McGuffin, they could turn it into a huge detective story that I think really works.
    Nothing like it has ever been filmed. It would be an entirely new genre...

    Yes, I think that Gollum deserves his own movie. I believe that each of the characters deserve their own movie.

    It will possibly be a good film if you consider that they will tell, explain and show many areas from the second age and maybe from first also. I don't think they will put too much focus on Golum himself, but more on what he has gone through, which will provide answers to many things that we might not have seen coming or which will give a meaningful answer from all the films from Lotr and hobbit. Hope we also get a bit shown in relation to sauron prime and other things. As long as Peter Jackson is making it, I will remain calm.

      The music is emotional and the gameplay is fun
      I think it's ok for games to have older graphics not everything has to be top notch
      The gameplay is unfortunately glitchy as hell though and the game can get quite repetitive
      What's not ok is charging 60-80 dollars for it when it's not that level of quality 💀☠️

    They are just "milking" the franchise. That's what they did with the "Hobbit" when they stretched it out to three movies. That said, I'll still probably see the Gollum movie.

    Gollum was a polarizing character who at the same time was both evil, but sympathetic because his evil was due to the corruption of the ring.
    He's also, at least the way I see it, the ultimate hero of the story. He got Frodo and Sam into Mordor, and in the end, when Frodo succumbed to the ring, it was Gollum's attack on him that caused the end of the ring
    Having said that, they will mostly be making this up from scratch so.... not sure how this will turn out, but at least the source material will be taken seriously, unlike the Rings of Power

    Explain to me! Because I’m struggling to understand why Aragorn brought Gollum all the way in to the dangerous Mirkwood while he could chose Lothlorien which is more well protected and safe? In addition the power of Galadriel could also probably heal Gollum?

    Gollum’s story is interesting but not interesting enough for a movie. If they made an anthology series one episode could be about him but that’s it.
    They should make a movie about the War against the wainriders and the founding of Rohan.
