A Behind-the-Scenes Guide to the Making of Gollum.
The official tie-in to 'The Return Of The King', in which actor Andy Serkis relates how he and the team of animators brought Tolkien's character Gollum to life.
Filmmaking history was made when, in 'The Two Towers', an actor's performance and digital animation were seamlessly integrated to create the world's first totally life-like animated character. Now Andy Serkis tells his own story about how a three-week commission to provide a voiceover for Gollum grew into a four-year commitment to breathe life and soul into 'The Lord Of The Rings' most challenging screen performance.
Fully illustrated with more than 100 exclusive behind-the-scenes photos and drawings from 'The Return Of The King' and 'The Two Towers', and with contributions from the many designers and animators who brought Gollum to life, this book examines the transition to the big screen of one of Tolkien's most popular characters from 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord Of The Rings'.
