The Hunt for Gollum Explained | The Lord of the Rings | Middle Earth

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?

I use many different sources for the visuals I incorporate. It's not always clear who created some of the works or many individuals share the same work under their own name. Therefore I only credit those I am certain about. If your work is in the video, please get in touch and I will gladly add your name to the list.
