About The Hunt For Gollum is a prequel to The Lord of the Rings made by british director Chris Bouchard. The film was faithfully based on appendices written by J.R.R. Tolkien as a serious homage to the material. Since release in 2009 it has been embraced by millions of fans and garnered international press acclaim, numerous festival screenings and awards. The film was funded by the film-makers and made with very limited resources, costing less than £3,000 to shoot. It is available online for free. Production Filming took place in North Wales, Epping Forest and other sites around London. The film captured the imagination of the fan community, drawing a small army of film-makers, fans and volunteers who all contributed to the final film. More than 140 people worked on the project which took two years to make. Availability The Hunt for Gollum is viewable online for free here on www.thehuntforgollum.com as well as Youtube and Dailymotion. Subtitles in 14 different languages are available on the Dailymotion version. It's a fan-made film (excellent quality at that) about the events between The Hobbit and LotR. It's free, it's in HD, it's awesome. For those who can't find the 'watch the film' button: http://www.thehuntforgollum.com/watchfilm.htm | ||

You can more or less skip the first bit about racism, but what interests me is the orgasmic sounding cameras (which I realize has probably been covered in the thread, but this is more info at any rate). Also I've heard rumors of David Tennant playing the elven king, all I know is there are two men I would go gay for: TLO and David Tennant....and I'm a homophobe | ||

Now if Peter Jackson was making The Silmarillion, I would be worried because I just can't imagine how they will ever fucking make people like the movie aside from the fans. I mean considering the majority of the book is about elves and gods, I can't see any general public liking the movie due to "we couldn't relate to it at all" | ||

I mean considering the majority of the book is about elves and gods, I can't see any general public liking the movie due to "we couldn't relate to it at all" I dont know if I even would like them making Silmarillion, atleast not the whole book. Majorly because the book is made from alot of small stories and it wouldnt really work to make a movie from that tbh. It would be alittle bit to much of jumping around for me to like it. Rather have them make a part of the book like the one about Beren and Luthien or something. But as I said the book is to much spread although its about Melkor becoming Morgoth throughout the book is made of small stories and thats what makes it bad movie material. | ||

I mean considering the majority of the book is about elves and gods, I can't see any general public liking the movie due to "we couldn't relate to it at all" I'm not sure I'd want to see Peter Jackson tackle Silmarillion simply because I don't want to see him become a one trick pony like George Lucas. Having said that, there is a lot of material that could be mined for stories if you took them individually. Turin Turambar would be an amazing movie- pretty gritty/ anti-hero type too which would appeal to modern movie sensibility. I'm sure it would be harder, but I'd actually like to see the rebellion of the Noldor told through the perspective of perhaps Maedhros and Fingolfin or else some later period in time. I think people could relate to it as elves are human-like. Also it firmly establish that elves are not necessarily pansies but were just as backstabbing. Beren and Luthien would also work. Somehow I'd love to see the fall of Gondolin though. | ||
