andy serkis ‘gollum’ up for directing a film of his own

After many outstanding performances on the screen, Andy Serkis will be taking a shot behind the scenes as a director for his own movie. His roles in motion-capture have given him a potential advantage as a director while working alongside legends like Peter Jackson and Steven Speilberg, to name a few. British producer, Sam Tromans of STS productions, says the drama that Serkis will be directing is, “…a fantastic script with a great female role.” He compares it to “The English Patient up a mountain.”

Since Andy Serkis is somewhat of an apprentice to Peter Jackson these days, expectations are high for his directorial debut. Let us know what you feel about a passion/drama film brought to you by Gollum!
