Andy Serkis , who played the iconic Gollum in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings , is taking on a new role in The Hobbit 1 and 2 . In addition to reprising his role as the tragic creature, Serkis also has been tapped by Jackson to serve as second unit director on the two films , which are now in production in New Zealand. “I think I understand Peter’s sensibility and we have a common history of understanding Middle Earth,” Serkis told The Hollywood Reporter . “A lot of the crew from The Lord of the Rings was returning to work on The Hobbit. There is really a sense of Peter wanting people around him who totally understand the material and the work ethic." Serkis has already done some directing, including performance capture on a couple video games including Heavenly Sword. But, he said, “When Peter asked me. There was this email out of the blue. It was a fantastic surprise.” When he completes The Hobbit movies, Serkis aims to direct his first live-action feature. In addit
