Andy Serkis Will Act as Second Unit Director on The Hobbit

As if reprising his role of Gollum in The Hobbit wasn't enough for Andy Serkis, the motion capturing actor will also work as second unit director during the New Zealand film shoot. "I think I understand Peter's sensibility and we have a common history of understanding Middle Earth," Serkis told THR. No truth to the rumor that Serkis will also handle the costume jewelry on the set. [THR/Heat Vision]
