The Hunt for Gollum
The Hunt for Gollum
The Hunt for Gollum is a 2009 British fantasy fan film based on the appendices of J. R. R. Tolkien’s 1954–55 book The Lord of the Rings.[1][2][3] The film is set in Middle-earth, when the wizard Gandalf the Grey fears that Gollum may reveal information about the One Ring to Sauron. Gandalf sends the ranger Aragorn on a quest to find Gollum.[4]
Filming took place in North Wales, Epping Forest, and Hampstead Heath. The film was shot in high definition video, with a budget of £3,000 (equivalent to £5,083 in 2023[5] or US$5,000, equivalent to $7,101 in 2023[6]).[3][7] The production is completely unofficial and unauthorized, though Bouchard said he had “reached an understanding” with Tolkien Enterprises in 2009.
