Olmer · 02-04-2009, 11:16 PM

This news will be of interest for many Tolkien's fans who would like to see more expanded Tolkien's trilogy.
The "Hunt for Gollum"
This is a free online movie made by fans and for fans.
Hope, their interpretation of the story won't be too dissapointing.

Looks like it might be good

Gordis · 02-06-2009, 03:26 AM

I hope it will be good. Tolkien Fans can't molest the story as badly as PJ did.

Peter Jackson is a Tolkien fan.. as were the thousands of volunteers who made the motion-picture possible, making Middle-Earth and all of Tolkien's genious known to possibly every single living soul on the face of the planet..

I wouldn't be surprised if some of those movie-goers possibly also the bought the books..

Right.. because you asked him right?

Anyone else think the "trailer" was more of a long-version of a "teaser" than an actual trailer?

Acalewia · 02-13-2009, 01:56 PM

You know, Robby's got a point. I guess they're assuming you know the story already or don't want to give away too much in a two minute trailer

Acalewia · 02-18-2009, 05:18 PM

Alrighty

Rosie Gamgee · 02-20-2009, 01:46 PM

Fascinating!! That looks so interesting: a film by fans for fans. I can't wait for it to come out.

Acalewia · 02-20-2009, 09:35 PM

Me either

Hey, I stand by Jackson's movies. Every fan has his or her own interpretations, and his team of special effects experts and art directors did an amazing job. His art directors worked with Alan Lee, who has illustrated LOTR as approved by the Tolkien estate. Plus, I didn't see anyone else volunteering for such a monumental task.

The trailer for the gollum movie looks interesting!

Olmer · 04-02-2009, 11:42 AM

For anyone who'll be in the London area on that day, the world premiere will be at the SCI-FI LONDON Convention and FREE TICKETS TO BE DRAWN are available for the public screening at 4pm.

I have to say, the trailer looks most impressive for the budget they had. (Although I don't remember the actual hunt involved that many characters and was that exciting. Interesting.) I'm curious to see what they've made of it. Looks like they went out of their way to get characters to look and sound like those from the New Line movies. Impressive.

***Varnafindë*** · 05-03-2009, 08:11 PM

I'm curious, too - I've just downloaded something that at 49.3 KB just isn't a working movie.

And everything else seems to be gone from the site ...

Gordis · 05-04-2009, 06:20 AM

Here is the film:

The Hunt for Gollum-High resolution

The Hunt - Low res

Tinman · 05-06-2009, 07:49 PM

It wasn't bad. I really wish the director would have had his own vision though, instead of peter jacksons. Not that I didnt enjoy peter jacksons take on the world... but it was just that, Peter Jacksons'. I think part of film is having your own ideas. I would like to see more original work... not more knock offs.

***Varnafindë*** · 05-06-2009, 11:36 PM

For some reason I couldn't take the fighting seriously. It didn't help that I could only see it in one small window on the screen, and that I couldn't get enough light on it - but there was something about "he's alone against the enemy - I suppose he's meant to do it all alone, then - yes, he's taking the enemy out all alone. Yawn." Too predictable?

I guess I would also have preferred something that didn't try to look - and sound - like Peter Jackson had made it. They even used parts of Howard Shores themes in their original music.

I've been chasing grace; Grace ain't so easily found One bad hand can devil a man, chase him and carry him down. I've got to get out of here, just give me One Good Year!
