The Hunt for Gollum

When Peter Jackson made the Lord of the Rings movies, it was one of the most interesting film projects of all times to me. Here someone tried to capture the glory of Tolkiens books. Books that I had read with a flashlight at night until my eyes hurt the first time, because I just couldn't stop reading... who cares about bedtime or school next day, when there's an epic like that to follow?

I was a sceptic of Jackson's work at first. But then I sat in the first movie...
He had won me over already, when the Nazgul nearly found the hobbits hiding behind the tree root. The only thing I was sad about after the movie was having to wait a year until the next one hit the cinemas.

Now, a team of fans went ahead to make a FREE new movie set in the Lord of the Rings world. The Hunt for Gollum is due 3rd May 2009. And after watching the trailer, this familiar tingling returned to me... I can't await to watch the whole of this free project.

Two thumbs up!

Also, through their website, I found several other fan/web/free movie sites.
So also keep a keen eye on Born of Hope and Human Residue!
