I don't know about you, but when the topic of LOTR comes up, I get excited. Now those of you who follow such lines know that New Line Cinema is working on the production of The Hobbit, the prequel to LOTR. But did you know of the online wealth of fan films that are out there? These films are by fans for fans. I won't kid you, most are low-budget and show it. BUT, there is one, actually two films (made by the same group) who are coming out with something that rivals the Peter Jackson films.
The Hunt for Gollum (www.thehuntforgollum.com) is a 40-minute story about Aragorn and the Rangers' search for Gollum. Those familiar with the story will remember Aragorn and Gandalf talking about it during the Council of Elrond. Trailers are posted on the website and boy, do they look cool!
Also, made by the same group, another film titled Born of Hope, follows the times of Aragorn's parents, Arathorn and Gilthaen (sp.) in their struggle against the dark forces amassing.
Both films look extraordinary and can be found at that website. Check them out! Because these are fan films and cannot accept money, The Hunt for Gollum is being made available for FREE downloading beginning May 3rd. Check them out!
See? Told you I get excited.
