Warner Bros. is currently working out how to best strip mine it’s Lord of the Rings licence with new films, and have announced The Hunt for Gollum.

GQ asked Viggo Mortensen, who had an iconic turn in the original trilogy as Aragorn, if he’d come back.

“I don’t know exactly what the story is, I haven’t heard. Maybe I’ll hear about it eventually… I like playing that character. I learned a lot playing the character. I enjoyed it a lot. I would only do it if I was right for it in terms of, you know, the age I am now and so forth. I would only do it if I was right for the character. It would be silly to do it otherwise.”

Hmmmm.
