Director Andy Serkis confirmed that artificial intelligence is being used for de-aging effects in The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, though he stressed it's a limited application and not for creating entire AI shots. Serkis emphasized a blend of traditional filmmaking techniques like miniatures and prosthetics with modern technology. The film is set between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, with Jamie Dornan starring as Aragorn.
