Plus, he has been doing "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" which just finished this month.
I thought he was there. Strange

They actually were doing 2nd unit filming in NZ in the past few months... for PJ's liveblog that he did on Facebook the last day of filming he talked about Christian Rivers, who's directing the splinter unit that Andy Serkis is usually in charge of. I don't know if they were using the 2nd unit for all of the past few months, but it definitely was in use.
That said, I did try to keep up with all of the interviews and everything to see who was there and when but it's so hard to keep track of everything. I figured it was better to send a letter and get an RTS than miss him. Of course, now I know that he was doing "Planet of the Apes"... oh, well. There's always be opportunities in the future.
