    Interesting to note Andy Serkis is making a new LOTR film as well.

    There is already a film called The Hunt For Gollum though. An amateur production made on a shoestring budget a few years ago. It’s surprisingly good.

      The fan film made the news recently because the day of the new live action films announcement, Warner Bros had it taken down from YouTube in a copyright claim. But it was restored about 24 how later.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Among the planned events include Andy Serkis hosting a filmmaker conversation and extended look at The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, the anime feature that hails from New Line Cinema and Warner Bros.

    Director Kenji Kamiyama and producers Philippa Boyens, Joseph Chou and Jason DeMarco will take part in the discussion and present the first footage from the movie that Warner Bros. is set to release theatrically on Dec. 13.

    Last week, Warner Bros. announced that a live-action Lord of the Rings film from director Serkis is in early development and eyeing a 2026 release.

    Gunn serves as executive producer and writer for the Max animated series that hails from DC Studios and Warner Bros.

    At the Annecy presentation, Creature Commandos supervising producer Rick Morales and supervising director Balak Yves will share an in-depth look at the artistic process behind the series that focuses on Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) forming a military group comprised of monstrous villains.

    Also set for Annecy is a panel sharing an inside look at the return of the Cartoon Network series The Amazing World of Gumball, in addition to a world-premiere screening of the forthcoming animated feature The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie.
