LoTR Fan Film — The Hunt For Gollum
stevedcc writes "This weekend sees the release of The Hunt for Gollum, a Lord of the Rings fan-film. It'll be available on the web for free. The BBC are running an article about the making of the film, with a budget of £3,000 (spent mostly on costumes and make-up). There were 160 contributors involved, many over the internet." I hope it lives up to the trailer (linked from the BBC story); the finished film is approximately 40 minutes.
memoryhole supplies links to YouTube for both the full trailer and a second trailer. Reader jowifi adds a link to NPR's story on the film, writing, "NPR discussed the legality of this type of creation with EFF lawyer Fred Von Lohman, who said it's not clear if such a production violates the copyright for Tolkien's work."
I happen to be the owner of Shakespeare's Cannons Inc. and your infringing on my trademark, you insensitive clod!
Just to let you know, I read your post in comic book guy's voice.
Impossible. Comic Book Guy's voice does not implement /sarcasm.
Nasty, nasty fanses! The fanses violates the preciouss.... the preciousss copyrightses!
That's not a troll, that's my real opinion you fucking fanboi moderators. The LotR movies were an insult to the series.
... if they hire Lindsay Lohan.
Dear Slashdot: next time you want to mess with the site, add a rich-text editor for comments.
If YouTube is any indication, Hollywood will be safe for years to come.
Cool, I'll bet I can turn you into the next big Fark meme: http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/1598/sd3v.jpg
