🚨Andy Serkis on the lack of diversity in the casting for ‘The Hunt for Gollum’: "Tolkien himself was influenced a lot by Norse mythology, there's a lot of that feeling. The Shire feels very, very much like a very, a very white, you know…" "They're not very concerned about what goes on beyond the borders of The Shire, but they know they don't want people coming in. "Yes, there have been criticisms," he says, acknowledging arguments that are now almost a quarter of a century old. "This particular film is somewhat acknowledging that. But we don't think we will be doing a politically correct just-casting-for-the sake-of-casting-and-ticking-boxes version of the film. So, it's only where relevant basically." Via @BBC
