Anya Taylor-Joy will make a brilliant elf assassin in Hunt for Gollum. But it’s a movie we don’t need
Andy Serkis has picked the perfect actor for the next iteration of the Lord of the Rings franchise. But if Tolkien didn’t linger over this subplot, should we?
TL;DR
- Anya Taylor-Joy has been cast as Seren, an elf, in the upcoming 'The Hunt for Gollum' film.
- The movie will center on Aragorn hunting Gollum, a narrative segment with limited detail in Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings'.
- Seren is described as a new character, a trusted and lethal agent of the elvenking Thranduil.
- The film could explore a dynamic between Aragorn and Seren, potentially as a road movie or a chase thriller.
- The article expresses skepticism about the need for this particular prequel despite Taylor-Joy's casting and potential for creative interpretation.
