This got deleted from Reddit so, just for the record: the "production designer" Elijah Wood mentioned is Oscar-winner Dan Hennah, who I'm told is returning for The Hunt for Gollum. Here he is on-location with set decorator Ra Vincent, who may also be returning:

This sort of video is an Oxymoron: "why can't Lord of the Rings move past Lord of the Rings?" If it's not about The War of the Ring - and that particular cast of charactrs - it's not REALLY Lord of the Rings. youtube.com/watch?v=O2rI5P…

This was already said by McKellen, but it does make one wonder if Makoare (Lurtz, Bolg) is in the film. It will be recalled that they had considered putting a "young" Gothmog into The Hobbit: a do-over perhaps?

Since Lee Pace is probably already tipped to reprise Thranduil (he’s almost certainly the ā€œElf lordā€ Boyens mentioned last December) this comment of his about Mortensen’s Aragorn being the ā€œperfect castingā€ is probably more insinuating than it appears: cbr.com/lee-pace-decla…

For anyone worried about The Hunt for Gollum being a "Studio Cash-grab", you can actually listen to Peter Jackson and Philippa Boyens discuss their idea for "The Hunting of Gollum" movie many years ago. They label this as "movie 3.5" that they would have loved to have made

Where there's a "young" Strider (by a decade or more than Mortensen's was) with his fellow rangers, there may be an older Strider (and not necessarily an old King Elessar) hunting for Gollum. Just sayin'... We may get the best of both worlds: knightedgemedia.com/2026/01/the-hu…

Reports that Andy Serkis’ LORD OF THE RINGS prequel could be the start of a new trilogy aren't 100% true. This comes from the fact that the actors in The Hunt for Gollum have signed on for a 3-picture contract but this is standard practice for any Hollywood franchise. Source:

Elijah Wood: "I’m not able to officially say anything until it’s announced, but I will say I’m thrilled [to be in The Hunt for Gollum...] Everyone gets a little protective and hopes it retains its level of integrity, but this story is fun, thrilling." tinyurl.com/372pfhn9
