00:00People at Collider are very excited about a certain, I don't know, movie you might be directing.
00:06What might that be?
00:07I don't know. I think that, you know, there's a character you played in the past.
00:12What was he?
00:13Exactly.
00:14Dobby.
00:14No.
00:15It was Dolby.
00:16It was Dolby.
00:17Dobbin.
00:19But being serious, before I run out of time, for fans, what can you tease people about in terms of how it's going, when you might start shooting, all that?
00:30Well, we're very early on in the process.
00:33We've been, I mean, we've been talking about the film over the course of the last year.
00:36We are about to start a period of prep in the next few months or so.
00:41We will be shooting in the early to mid part next year, I guess.
00:47And then, you know, it'll be as long as it takes to shoot, which will be, you know, it's a sizable movie.
00:55And all ready for a December 27 release, which, I mean, I'm incredibly excited to go back and work with my friends and family in New Zealand and actually do something which is, you know, I think going to be surprising.
01:10And yet very much part of the lore and the feel of the trilogy and, you know, the sensibility of it will feel, I think, close to that.
01:21And yet we're investigating in greater depth the character formerly known as Smeagol, but mostly known as Gollum.
01:32Yeah, my last thing, because I'm out of time.
01:34So you're filming in New Zealand?
01:36Yeah.
01:37And my other thing is, how far along is the script?
01:39Are you guys still working on it?
01:41Yeah, yeah, we're still working.
01:43We're very, very sort of relatively early stages.
