As a lot as we prefer to see Wooden again within the hobbit toes, the inclusion doesn’t make fully clear sense due to the sentiment expressed within the well-known Frodo line above. Earlier than he and his fellow Hobbits have been referred to as upon to return the One Ring to Mordor, they’d a comparatively idyllic life. All through the trilogy although, we monitor the load positioned upon Frodo as he completes his mission, the lack of his innocence is handled as part of his heroic sacrifice. That sacrifice solely works if we perceive Frodo’s life to be completely happy and uninteresting earlier than forming the Fellowship.
So what the heck is Frodo going to be doing in The Hunt for Gollum? Are we going to simply watch him lazing about in some idyll? Will we spend time with him as he mows the garden or tends to the shrubberies? We all know that on the night time Gandalf returns, he nonetheless enjoys pint down on the tavern with Sam and his lovelorn eyes for Rosie. Maybe we’ll get to see some foundational moments that made Frodo into the character we all know and love. Perhaps we’ll see Frodo introducing younger Samwise to potatoes, thus incomes his timeless loyalty?
It’s arduous to imagine that The Hunt for Gollum would waste display time on one thing so boring. However one needs to belief that Serkis and Jackson have sufficient care and respect for the characters that they’ll watch out to not undermine the pathos of the earlier movies. So perhaps we’ll see a extra sophisticated Frodo, somebody who longs to observe in his Uncle Bilbo’s adventurous footsteps, unaware of how a lot the journey will price him.
Truthfully, it’s arduous to say for positive how the film plans to deal with the story, as we haven’t really heard affirmation that Wooden has joined the forged. We’ll simply must let Serkis and Jackson hold their secrets and techniques, and we’ll hold making ridiculous speculations.
The Hunt for Gollum is slated for a 2027 launch.
