Makes sense. De-aging can only do so much. And can be a bit uncanny valley.

@ianRobinson Does it make sense, considering the person confirming this is Andy Serkis?

@beer_mat_movies He’s the director. Are you saying we can’t trust what he says?

@ianRobinson I'm saying given the roles he's famous for, can technology not suffice? Are they recasting Gollum? Or has Viggo said he's not interested in spending another 18 months in New Zealand, so this is face-saving/fan-appeasement?
