Filming has begun on The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, with Andy Serkis reprising his iconic role as Gollum, as revealed in a behind-the-scenes video. The project, set for a December 17, 2027, release, will also feature returning cast members Ian McKellen and Elijah Wood. Serkis, who is also directing, showcases his immediate return to character in the video, alongside glimpses of New Zealand location shoots.
Nintendo has moved up the release date of its highly anticipated live-action The Legend of Zelda movie to April 30, 2027, a week earlier than initially planned. This adjustment comes as the film, directed by Wes Ball and starring Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link and Bo Bragason as Zelda, nears its completion after wrapping filming in New Zealand. The shift positions the movie strategically amidst a crowded 2027 release schedule.
