    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Did you all know there is already a The Hunt for Gollum? Found it online. It's fan fiction from 2009 from the UK but reviews sound good.

What is the general premise? I have a hard time believing a whole movie can be filled.

Go watch it. I don't want to give any spoilers, but it's the search for Gollum. I found it free on YouTube. It's 40 minutes or so. Tell me how it is.

Well, I did not know this thing existed at all.

I am very torn. While I appreciate the love that went into this project (and you can see it). It doesn’t really offer much to the larger story and probably didn’t beed to be 40min. If it were part of a tv series, I think it would likely slot in well, with some additional parallel Shire content going on.

Yeah and thanks for watching it. I felt simular. I liked watching it because I'm a big fan, but it was their love and passion for it that got me. And for what it is I think they did a great job. It could have been shorter or had more other content... But I can only assume there was some budget issues as it was nonprofit made.
