Gollum is back - GoFuckYourself.com

AssPirate · 04-28-2009, 03:13 PM

The fan film has come a long, long way. That almost goes without saying these days as more and more independent film makers tackle established worlds to prove their chops but here comes yet another example with Chris Bouchard?s The Hunt For Gollum. As you might guess from the title, Bouchard and a crew of over a hundred volunteers have been working more than two years to bring a story from Middle Earth to the screen, a story referenced in the appendices of JRR Tolkein?s The Lord of the Rings but never actually written down in detail.

Now, we?ve had impressive Star Wars fan films in the past and impressive Superman and Batman films, too, but this appears to be the first time anyone has taken a solid run at The Lord of the Rings. And for good reason, frankly. I?ve long maintained that the sword and sorcery film is one of the toughest genres to pull off believably regardless of budget and resources and that makes what Bouchard has accomplished here all the more impressive because every aspect of this - from the cinematography to the creature makeup to the weaponry to the acting - is all absolutely spot on.

The Hunt For Gollum will have its World Premiere on May 3rd as part of the Sci Fi London festival - it will be uploaded to Daily Motion at the same time for fans outside of London - and we have both the trailer and an exclusive clip below the break.

WATCH THE TRAILER HERE.

Looks darn good

J. Falcon · 04-28-2009, 03:44 PM

Never heard of that story. I thought they were going to make The Hobbit next.

AssPirate · 04-28-2009, 03:48 PM

This is an unofficial fan film, man. Can't you read?

People do not actually read on GFY. The look at a few words, then pick a conclusion, then post. You should know that by now.

Someone had a bad day.

Anyway that looks pretty impressive. The only complaint i can think of is that they made the characters look like the cast from the original movie. For commercial reasons i can understand that but if you're doing an independent flick you should stay away from stuff like that.

I didn't hear anything about this movie before. Can't wait to see it.

Also really looking forward to The Hobbit. Peter Jackson together with the guy who produced and directed El laberinto del fauno = winning combination.

That is going to suck,

just wait for Guillermo del Toro's "The Hobbit" and "The Hobbit 2".

It's the same guy that brought you Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth.

Sorry, sheesh.

Pretty impressive for a fan film, those star trek nerds will be jealous for sure.

Marcus Aurelius · 04-28-2009, 06:41 PM

Nice. looks pretty good. and yes, The Hobbit is the next hollywood production film. It's being directed by Guillermo Del Toro so it should be amazing.

bronco67 · 04-28-2009, 09:37 PM

I think the Star Wars nerds could probably beat up these Rings nerds, and prison rape them a few times.
