Comment on Will The Hunt for Gollum really be two movies? That’s got to be a stretch

It’s been a minute since I’ve read the books, so feel free to correct me, but doesnt Gandalf ask Aragorn to find Gollum after Bilbo’s birthday? Then they imprison him with the elves who feel pity for him and let him climb a tree. Then he won’t come down or something and gets away.

I assumed this is what the hunt for Gollum is, but I haven’t looked at anything to confirm this.

“Precious, it’s been called that before…”

  He’s also captured by Saurons forces at some point before being let out to find the gang in Moria

Right, right, right. I forgot about that detail. It feels like, again, they don’t though, right? Gollum is found by orcs (?) and interrogated before sneaking out and eventually stalking Frodo.

  He didn’t sneak out, they let him go so they could tail him and find The Ring.

I think that’s more where this will lie, the elves or someone hunts him after he escapes but he gets away until Bilbo runs into him.
