Guy Who Played Gollum Will Help Direct Hobbit

The guy who played the tragic, hideous creature Gollum in Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is not only coming back to play the same role, but he'll help direct the Hobbit.

The movie is currently in production in New Zealand and the Actor Andy Serkis tells the Hollywood Reporter Jackson wants people around him who understand both the work ethic and the material.

A lot of the crew members who worked on the "Lord of the Rings" movies will return for the Hobbit.

Serkis describes his role in the upcoming film as a Gollum that people will recognize, adding the character will be portrayed in his truest form. Serkis also stars in a "Planet of the Apes" prequel called "Rise of the Apes," which is due out in August.

The Hobbit, is being shot in 3D. Check out the Jason Hope Hollywood blog to stay on top of developments with this film.
