The Return of Middle-Earth
Orlando Bloom has confirmed his involvement in Andy Serkis’ new project, “The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum.” This film is set to occur after the events of 2003’s ‘The Return of the King.’
How Will the Actors Return?
Fans might wonder how the original cast, including Viggo Mortensen, Elijah Wood, Sean Bean, Ian McKellen, and Bloom, will reprise their roles after 20 years. Serkis plans to use AI technology to de-age the actors, a controversial yet intriguing solution.
“I really don’t know what [they are planning]. I did speak to Andy [Serkis] and he did say they were thinking about how to do things. I was like, ‘How would that even work?’ And he was like, ‘Well, AI!’ and I was like, ‘Oh, OK!’ It was a pretty magical time in my life, and it’s one of those things where there’s not a downside to it.” – Orlando Bloom
The Evolution of De-Aging Technology
De-aging technology has been used in films like Scorsese’s “The Irishman” and more recently in “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” and “The Flash.” However, its effectiveness remains a topic of debate.
