LOTR uber-fans have camcorders, make a movie
Actually, it seems quite a bit more serious than that. The Hunt for Gollum is a 40-minute film written, directed and produced by Chris Bouchard. A story that was pieced together from the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, Bouchard says the film was created as a tribute to both the books by J.R.R. Tolkien and the films by Peter Jackson, but also as an experiment in low-budget film making. A collaborative effort of several volunteers and contributors, The Hunt for Gollum has seriously high production values and actually looks like it might be really good. You can find out for yourself when it debuts at Dailymotion.com on May 3rd. In the meantime, check out the trailer.
