The Hunt For Gollum - The Fan Film (2009)
Рет қаралды 13,993,504
15 жыл бұрынThe Hunt for Gollum is an independent film based on appendices in The Lord of the Rings. It was produced entirely by fans, and released free to the Internet in 2009. Locations include Epping Forest and Snowdonia, north Wales. Awards include 'Best Fiction Produced for the Web', 2009 and Best Live Action at Balticon.
Prompted by Gandalf, a ranger by the name of Strider sets out to search for the creature Gollum, who knows the location of the Ring.
This is a not-for-profit unofficial fan-made film, created from scratch by indie film makers in the U.K. as a tribute to The Lord of the Rings books (and inspired by the films of Peter Jackson).
Directed by Chris Bouchard

Honestly I'm not discounting the possibility that people at WB didn't even know this thing existed apart from finding it in some search and making the strike as a reflex, only to withdraw it when the truth of the matter was made known. My theory has the fallacy, though, of supposing those involved were good and decent people at heart, when talking about corporations.

Holy smokes this is incredible. I'm disappointed I've lived 13yrs and just no found this masterpiece! What an awesome prequel to the Jackson LoTR trilogy. It honestly felt as if Peter Jackson himself directed it, but with a slightly lower budget. The aerial landscape shots were incredible, the soundtrack sounded just like Howard Shore, and the costume/make up, action, dialogue, set locations, VFX, and acting were phenomenal. Gollum looked amazing, and Adrian Webster as Aragorn was close to Viggo's! I'm adding this to my annual LoTR marathon!
@stewartmackay539 6 жыл бұрын
This is astounding. Considering it will have been shot on a very limited budget I have nothing but praise for all concerned. I am a lighting cameraman and tend to watch films with different eyes. I have to say that the whole film was cleverly shot. (how to involve Gollum without seeing him - Brilliant) Great costume and make up and the fight sequence was excellent. I think the casting was pure genius and the direction was spot on. Well done to all involved. I know how much work has gone into producing this film.

I thought such an epic could never make it to the cinema screen, the story is so vast. Peter Jackson made a leap of faith and did it. By the Valar he did an incredible job! And so have these folk. It's a minor part of the tale that nobody really pays much attention to as Aragorn merely relates it..but it is significant. Well done to all.

I always believe if filmmakers stay true to the vision of writers of great novels, they have a good chance of making a success of the film(s). I know that filmmakers need to "interpret" novels to convert it to film, but if you keep that Ingredient X that made the book so endearing to its readers, you will make the film endearing to its audience. Some directors do forget that, and end up with major cinematic failures. Crossing fingers for 3rd trilogy of LOTR movies based on the The Silmarillion.

I just mentioned trilogy because that is what most people think when they think Middle-Earth movies. I absolutely agree with you about the massive content of Middle-Earth not yet captured in the Cinematic Universe yet. How do you feel about a 25 movie series to detail Middle-Earth's history and characters as a complete guide? (in case you are wondering, James Bond has 23 films and Lone Wolf has 24, and Wikipedia indicates at least 3 movie series with 25 movies). We could easily reach that number, considering that even independent productions could be listed.

Just sticking to the books won't make the movie better alone. You need a director with vision and openness like this one, selecting the right music, cinematography, dialogue, location etc.

Gandalf did not discover that the Nine had crossed the Anduin until being captured by Saruman. Here Aragorn is shown telling Gandalf that the Nine had come West which doesn't line up with the rest of the story (Gandalf not telling Frodo to set out from the Shire at once but rather letting him wait). Also Aragorn found Gollum near Mordor, not in Mirkwood. STILL AWESOME MOVIE

All parts are better than the Rings of Power (from my view). It is intimate, Middle Earth is a real character here, great tention building, all scenes tells us something about the world and characters. This movie does not show everything directly to the audience, many things are left to audience´s imagination. And it works very well. After the Peter Jackson´s movies this is for me "going back again" to the beloved Middle Earth.

As I have never even watched any LOTR fanfilms before, I have to say I bow down to all of you, 15 years later. Yes, well, got here because I just learned about this after the announcement. Better late than never in this case, because this deserves all the attention it is about to get now. Very precious 🤭 How sad is it that the orcs from a fan made movie look about a billion times better than PJ's goblins from the Hobbit? Especially the Boss Orc. He was gorgeous! Also, can't help but mention how much I laughed my head off at the "No. Doesn't." line delivery at 18:26 🤣🤣🤣

I've seen this movie just now, what can I say more than congratulations ? It's amazing, this is the proof that even low budgets movies can do amazing things. It's one of the best fan made movies I've ever seen. The actors are amazing, the direction is brilliant, the atmosphere, the costumes and the screenplay, everything is just beautiful. I can literally breath Tolkien and Jackson watching this, and I'm sure he would be proud of your work. Congratulations, now when I'll do a Lotr marathon, I could also watch this movie first. The Lord of the Rings is my favorite movie ever, and this short movie does the best it can do to give me Jackson vibes, but also, it is amazing on its own. I'm so glad that I watched this.

How is a 2009 fan film better than a billion dollar production? You caught the spirit of the movies / books, did Peter Jackson "lite" level with the cinematography, casting and acting, and made the brilliant decision to keep Gollum "hidden" for the reveal (and likely production cost) till the end! You are right up there with Prelude to Axanar! Also, Gary sent me X^D
