Title: The Hunt for Gollum
Post by: Athelas on May 03, 2009, 08:43:47 AM

Has anyone been following the progress of this web-based movie? The trailer looks very well done, and the actors really resemble the ones from the Peter Jackson trilogy. To be released on the Web at noon today, 40 minutes long!

Watched it last night, and also the making of film.  I can't get over how they managed to make something so professional looking for only £3,000.  A lot of very talented people there.

Yeah, I liked it too! It leaves a very good impression. Clearly, money isn't everything :P I'm amazed how they maintained the atmosphere of the LotR, the music, the scenary all seem to come from there and yet it's different somehow. All in all, a very clever bit of work xx It's great they decided to make a movie based on something not so well-known as the LotR or the Hobbit. Hope there's going to be more movies like this.

A sister movie has been made, Born of Hope (http://www.bornofhope.com/Welcome.html) which they are hoping to release on 1 December.  Make a note in your diaries now folks.

Watched this the other day, Thought it was really good. If i didn't know better I'd have swarn it was official!

Saw Born of Hope too, was good but not as good as HFG

Still, though was a nice little break on the long wait for the hobbit  :D
