I searched and couldnt see that this has already been posted. Apologies if it has.

 

Anyway on May 3rd, an independent film 'The Hunt for Gollum' is going to be released on t'internet. You can see the trailers here.

 

And surprisingly despite the low budget, it actually looks quite good.

Jesus, I think I may have come a little bit in my pants there. Forgot just how excited I was watching them movies. (not in that way, although Samwise ia a wie cutie)

[M_B]

Looks like there is a second film aswell.

 

Born of hope

[Redder Lurtz]

Awesome. I am officially excited.

[Flying Pig]

Gilraen would get it whoever she is. As would Elgarain and Ivorwen and Evonyn.

 

 

Lots of fits birds just like on here i.e gazelle, SKI, melons, woo, Carradona etc.

Thought The Hobbit was getting made aswell?

[airbags]

Yeah, the Hobbit is the official Tolkien one directed by that Del Toro fella? Im sure Peter Jackson is involved somehow too.

 

I only found out about these movies there and Id say they are treading on very thin ice as regards the copyright and such like. They make it abundantly clear on the website that the movies are made by fans for fans and are not intended to make a profit so you never know.

 

I still can't wait to see them however. Anyone know where it was made? It certainly doesn't look like New Zealand. England Id say.

The Hunt for Gollum was filmed in Wales, the other one in the South of England somewhere.

 

The Hobbit is due for release in December 2010. I can't fucking wait, me. There's also another film which covers the 60 years between Bilbo's return up until the beginning of the Lord of the Rings. From what I can gather, the basis for the second film is all in Tolkien's writings and his personal library. I'm slightly worried about how much artistic license they'll use in making the film and we have nothing to measure that against due to there not being a book as such. From the work Jackson did as director of the trilogy and based on the fact he's producing the next two films I tend to trust his judgement.

[Redder Lurtz]

Bump.

 

Hunt for Gollum is online on Sunday.

[RedAloy]

Read the books when I was young

 

Took a little cousin to see the latest movie and it was ok

 

Not really into it like others.

In what way?

[RedAloy]

Negged.

 

Like the LOTR movies

With posts like that it's no coincidence that you've only posted 50 times and are already considered to be 'a massive tool'.

 

Deary me. Have some more neg.

It was too much Hollywood influenced, and I feel like they weren't true enough to the book(s).
