Andy Serkis made aname for himself as a motion capture thespian , andthe big franchisethat trulyproved his talent was Lord of the Rings , where he excellently played Gollum . His face , and his voice , are inseparable fromTolkien ’s narration for devotee ofPeter Jackson ’s moving picture . And for those fans , it’sexciting to roll in the hay that Serkis ’s voice , at least , is returning to Middle - Earth .
As announced byHarperCollins , the publisher is putting together a new audiobook going ofThe Hobbit , read by the one and only AndySerkis . The unabridged recital will be the level of Bilbo and his adventurewith a grumpy wizard and a company of dwarves , culminating in a confrontationwith a tartar and a monolithic engagement . You make love the story . Eagles are there . Andmost delightfully , Gollum , Serkis ’s most iconic purpose , wee-wee a small butimportant appearance , mean Serkis will get a fortune to have another take athis Gollum voice . Which I look does brutal thing to a dude ’s throat .
