How will the Gollum viewers see in The Hobbit be different from the one in The Lord of the Rings? And the crew could settle back into a world that they knew. Peter decided to do this scene first because, one, Martin was finding his feet as Bilbo and it was probably easier to do that with one other actor rather than 13 dwarves and a wizard. It was the first thing that was shot on The Hobbit movie, and it’s the seminal Gollum scene in the book. Your big scene in The Hobbit is when Gollum and Bilbo Baggins play a game of riddles in a dark cave.
TIME spoke to Serkis about the new Tolkien flick, how he makes Gollum so heart-wrenching and whether motion-capture acting is the same as the “real” thing. The actor and director is an outspoken proponent of motion capture–the technique animators used to morph him into Gollum-and he can put his résumé where his mouth is: after his work in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings, he played “mo-cap” leads in King Kongand Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The man behind those creepy intonations of “precious” is 48-year-old Andy Serkis. Follow moviegoers slip on their 3-D glasses this weekend to watch The Hobbit, they’ll see some familiar faces: Gandalf the Grey, Elrond the Elf and, of course, Gollum.
