Arguably the best trout sculpture of all time.
A huge Weta Workshop sculpture of Hobbit character Gollum has been unveiled at Wellington Airport in New Zealand ahead of the world premiere of the first film in the trilogy next month.
The sculpture shows a submerged Gollum with an emaciated physique and an expression of glee, swimming towards his favorite meal of “juicy sweet fish” with an outstretched hand. Weta staff crafted the 1.2 tonne sculpture from nine pieces of polystyrene coated in epoxy resin.
