Serkis set to helm 'Animal Farm' remake

Andy Serkis is planning to direct a remake of 'Animal Farm'.

The 'Lord Of The Rings' actor - who made his directorial debut as a second unit helmer on 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' - will step behind the camera for the second time to retell George Orwell's classic novel and promises a different way of looking at the political satire.
