Everyone on the planet is linking to this, but on the off chance you haven’t seen it I strongly encourage you to check out The Hunt For Gollum. This 40 minute fan film based on The Lord of the Rings is fantastic. It echoes the visual sensibility of the Peter Jackson films. It is a remarkable accomplishment.
No money is made from this film. It is pure fan love.
The film follows Aragorn as he tries to track down Gollum before he is caught by servants of the Dark Lord, who are also tracking Gollum in his search for The One Ring. Gollum will surely lead the Nazgul to the Shire if he is not stopped.
There are descriptions of these incidents in the book, and they are alluded to in the Peter Jackson film.
It screened smoothly on my computer, too, even in High Def. There was very little load time.
Hat tips from The One Ring and Christian Berntsen.
