Nine years after his final appearance as the iconic Gollum in Peter Jackson's 'The Lord of The Rings' trilogy, Andy Serkis returned to reprise he role in 2012's prequel, 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'. But at the last moment, Jackson asked Serkis to act as the second unit director for the film as well. "It was a huge epic adventure" he explains, before confessing "which I didn't even know I was going to be involved in!"
Serkis explained that "I thought that I was coming back to reprise the role of Gollum, and literally a matter of weeks beforehand, Peter said 'Will you come down to direct the second unit?'" As the name suggests, a Second Unit Director films certain parts of the film while the main Director is focusing on other aspects of the film. Serkis explains his contributions, saying: "My Involvement was very much the beginning part of the movie". It furthermore acted as a learning process for Serkis, as he revealed that ahead of his directorial debut in 2016's 'Jungle Book: Origins', working as a Second Unit Director "was like being at the biggest film school ever imaginable".
