	Gollum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gollum had lost the Ring in the network of caves leading to the lake, although in fact it is more appropriate to say that the Ring abandoned him, for it was known to have a will of its own; as Gandalf says later, it looks after itself, trying to get back to Sauron.
		Gollum was then freed, but caught by Aragorn, who, along with Gandalf, interrogated him about the Ring and placed him in the care of the Silvan Elves living in Thranduil's kingdom in Mirkwood.
		Frodo, Sam, and Gollum left Faramir and began crossing the pass of Cirith Ungol in the border-mountains of the Ephel Duath.

	Precioussss Gollum - baltimoresun.com
		Remnants of Gollum's hobbit self are evident only in the sickly wisps of hair on his head, the loin cloth he uses to cover himself, and in the wide, worrying eyes that resemble those of the hobbit and Ring bearer Frodo Baggins.
		Gollum is lured from the cave after he loses the Ring to Bilbo Baggins (Frodo's kinsman) in a riddling contest.
		"Gollum," the nickname he was given for a gutteral sound he sometimes makes, generally corresponds to his "bad" self, to the murdering, thieving, desperate character who "wants it." But Frodo continually calls his guide "Sméagol," Gollum's given hobbit name, and the one by which Gollum, in Frodo's company, begins to refer to himself.

		Gollum was once a good hobbit named Sméagol, and this past identity comes to represent Gollum’s good side, the part of him that loves and wants to help his “master,” Frodo.
		Gollum, the dark side of Sméagol, covets the ring, which he calls “my precious,” so much that he is willing to kill for it again.
		Gollum serves as a foil to Frodo, his physical presence implicitly emphasizing the younger hobbit’s strength and purity.

		I think that Gollum is really the character who is a very human character and he's very flawed, like most humans are and has good and bad sides.
		And he describes Gollum as having a chink of light in his soul that is kind of redeemable or saveable.
		Tolkein writes Gollum as speaking to himself but we decided to make that into much more of a two sides of his personality and so that's bound up really with the psychological conditions of addiction.

		PARIS, Dec 17 (AFP) - The "Lord of the Rings" character Gollum was paranoid and had a split personality but this was because he probably suffered from vitamin deficiency, anaemia, hyperthyroidism and a metabolic disease called porphyria.
		That's the conclusion of a group of British doctors who sift through Gollum's symptoms in a tongue-in-cheek diagnosis published this Saturday in the British Medical Journal (BMJ).
		Gollum's dislike of sunlight may be induced to the photosensitivity of porphyria.

	OAFE - LotR: Return of the King Gollum review
		People hated the idea of a fully bendy figure, citing the early Spawn Violator figures as amateurish and problematic, while others thought the idea was nifty, saying such a small thin figure's sculpt from being ruined by lots of articulation points.
		In the new Return of the King line from ToyBiz, Gollum returns in two slightly different sculpts; this first is essentially a re-release of the old Gollum figure, where the other is the character's alter ego Smeagol, with a completely different, better facial sculpt.
		Overall, Gollum is a fine figure, slightly let down by the sculpting lines and less-effective bendy legs.

		Through his experience in creating a close reflection to Tolkien's Gollum, he comes forward in what seems to be a blunt honest story of his time on the set and creates a brief, enjoyable actor's account.
		This is a fascinating account of Andy Serkis's experience in creating the CG character, Gollum, as well as his actual "on screen" time as the ring-beguiled Smeagol in the opening scene of The Return of The King.
		Gollum was my favorite character back when I read Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and, seeing the movies, I was amazed at how well his complexity was captured in a CG (computer-generated) character.

	Bookselling This Week: The Man Who Would Be Gollum: LOTR's Andy Serkis
		Lord of the Rings movie fans who assume the character Gollum is simply the creation of some software, a man at a keyboard, and a group of animators are in for a bit of a surprise: Gollum is more human (and hobbit) than might be imagined.
		In Gollum, Serkis details how his role in the film evolved from being hired to provide only the voice of an animated creature to the point where, in many ways, he was the Gollum that the audience sees on film.
		Or perhaps, Gollum was more like Serkis, as the animators ultimately recreated the creature's facial muscles and structure to align more closely with Serkis' face.

		Therefore, we had compositors working with the lighting, shader and texture teams for months before they felt they had a Gollum that was as lifelike as possible, really worthy of a final version,” Nugent says.
		“The CG integration composites required us to place Gollum splashing around in water, running around in gravel, dirt, dust and tall grass and so forth, to make it realistically appear that he is interacting with his physical environment and the people around him.
		Gollum’s realistic appearance was crafted through a blend of sophisticated computer animation and motion-capture technologies and given a boost of human realism from renowned English actor Andy Serkis.

		For those unfamiliar with the character, Gollum was transformed from a hobbit named Smeagol, into a deformed treacherous creature by the evil power of the ring, but remnants of Smeagol's personality remain.
		But associating Gollum with schizophrenia was unfair and incorrect, said Rebecca Griffin, director of support services at the Schizophrenia Fellowship of NSW.
		More likely Gollum had dissociative identity disorder - the presence of two or more personalities, or identities - triggered by the loss of the ring, she said.
