May 4 2009Viggo Mortensen Lookalike on 'The Hunt for Gollum'
It's the year 3009 of the Third Age. Middle Earth has been at relative peace for hundreds of years. But now the great shadow has grown stronger in the East, and the time has come for Guy Who Looks Kind of Like Aragorn and Man Reminiscent of Gandolf to hunt down Pseudo-Gollum and fight some orcs in lesser-scale, understandably budget-restricted battles.
Such is the premise for the upcoming 40-minute short The Hunt for Gollum, a professionally-made but probably illegal fan film set in the world of the Lord of Ring. There's a trailer:
Well done, but leaves me wishing something happened.

Couldn't even watch the whole trailer. Made me feel dirty.

this looks good for what it is.....but....this trailer was like 2mins of a guy walking. Not exactly choice scenes.

I'm ambivalent now, but were I to see this trailer in a dark theatre, sound & bass cranked up, I think I would probably get chills.

Well, if you buy into Clerks 2's brief commentary on the trilogy, that's pretty much all that happens in the movies.

Do I really have to be the one to point out that he misspelled Gandalf?(read, Gandolf).
Well there it is. I hope you're happy.

The full version of the movie is up there... Not to bad. More impressive than a Uwe "The Toliet" Boll movie.

It's not for profit, so not illegal. They have the permission of Tolkiens estate reps etc.
It was made for 3000

Given the fact that its a fan-film it looks pretty damn good. Production quality is incredible. I might check this out for that alone.

This looks cool, especially for a fan made project. I'm going to watch it.
