First teaser for Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is hiding a 'precious' message, but you'll need to be a Tolkien expert to decipher it
The production of The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum has officially begun, with director Andy Serkis releasing a teaser showing him in a motion-capture suit. The film, set before The Fellowship of the Ring, will feature Aragorn tracking Gollum and includes returning actors Ian McKellen as Gandalf and Elijah Wood as Frodo. The teaser also revealed a hidden message in J.R.R. Tolkien's Cirth runes, which reads 'Something precious awaits,' and Serkis confirmed the use of AI for de-aging effects, though he emphasized traditional filmmaking methods.
