Serkis set to join McKellan in Del Toro’s Hobbit
The newly appointed film director of JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit Guillermo del Toro has revealed that Andy Serkis is set to join Sir Ian McKellan in reprising their roles of Gandalf and Gollum for the back-to-back films.
"We really want to take the state-of-the-art animatronics and take a leap 10 years into the future with the technology we will develop for the creatures in the movie. We have every intention to do for animatronics and special effects what the other films did for virtual reality," he added.
