Elijah Wood Says Filming The Hunt for Gollum Felt Like Going Back in Time
Elijah Wood says returning to the role of Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum felt like going back in time. He first played the character 27 years ago.
Filming recently wrapped on the new movie. Deadline spoke with Wood at the Los Angeles premiere of the fourth season of Yellowjackets and asked what it was like to play Frodo again.
“I felt like I’d gone back in time. You look down, and the muscle memory kicks in. I’ve seen my feet like this before. I know this costume. It’s a kind of crazy feeling. It takes you back. And suddenly those 27 years are gone, and you’re there again.”
The Hunt for Gollum takes place between Bilbo’s 111th birthday celebration and the Fellowship of the Ring’s journey through Moria. Gandalf fears that Gollum could tell Sauron everything he knows about the One Ring, so he tasks Aragorn with finding Gollum before the Dark Lord does.
Andy Serkis directed the film and returned to the role of Gollum. Ian McKellen and Lee Pace also return as Gandalf and Thranduil, respectively. Kate Winslet, Leo Woodall, Anya Taylor-Joy and Jamie Dornan have joined the cast, with Dornan playing a young Aragorn.
The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is scheduled to open in theaters on December 17, 2027.
