Soon, a cherished December tradition will return to us. In December 2027, a new The Lord of the Rings movie, The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, will arrive in theaters. But the truth is that, even though watching The Lord of the Rings movies in theaters is a Christmas-time activity, it’s also something of a cherished fall tradition. Not only is Hobbit Day celebrated on September 22, the birthday of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, but there’s an autumnal sensibility to Middle-earth. Hobbits embody the harvest and the warmth of fall. And elves bring to life the beauty of the changing trees. And that’s why we’re thrilled to celebrate the start of autumn this year with first-look images from The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum. And yes, that is Frodo Baggins in the Shire we see in this first-look from The Hunt for Gollum movie.

Why yes, that is Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins heading into Bag End. And doesn’t seeing Frodo in front of that iconic green door just fill you with all kinds of warm, nostalgic feelings? And YES, it makes sense for Elijah Wood’s Frodo to be present in the Shire in these The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum first-look images. The Hunt for Gollum actually takes place after Bilbo’s Eleventy-First birthday and before Frodo ever leaves the Shire, and then slides into what we’ve already seen in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. That means, Wood’s Frodo spends most of his time in the Shire during the timeline of The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum… And we’re very happy to see him. If you want to know more, pick up your copy of The Fellowship of the Ring today and explore Gandalf’s conversation with Frodo about the Ring as well as his recounting of his and Aragorn’s adventures at the Council of Elrond.

The rest of The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum‘s first-look images take us back to the Shire. Hobbits galore! Pumpkins! And all kinds of autumnal majesty. It’s just as we left it. And it really does feel like our home away from home. Would that all our fall celebrations looked just like this. We haven’t seen too much from The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum yet—but we can absolutely sense that iconic spirit of The Lord of the Rings drenching these images. It feels just right. There are 10 first-look images of Hunt for Gollum in total, so savor every one.
Nerdist Take: Autumn Is the Perfect Time to Celebrate The Lord of the Rings
The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum has us ready to press play on our extended edition of The Lord of the Rings movies and sink back into the familiar world we know and love. We just need some Hobbit-sized pumpkins, some good stew, and a delicious tankard of ale (it comes in a pint!) to have the best fall night ever. We may even build LEGO’s The Lord of the Rings Shire set… If we’re feeling adventurous!
Even though The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum won’t release until December 17, 2027, these first-look images have truly gotten us in the -ber month spirit.
