The Lord Of The Rings spin-off The Hunt For Gollum will not be split into two films, screenwriter Philippa Boyens has confirmed. The upcoming film, which will be directed by Gollum himself Andy Serkis, was announced earlier this year, and rumours have since been swirling about how the story will be told. This included the notion that the movie will be split into two parts, which originated from an interview with Gandalf actor Sir Ian McKellen.
