The Hunt For Gollum gets its world premiere at the London Sci-Fi Festival on May 3rd.

The Hunt for Gollum is another fan made unofficial Middle Earth movie that has received acclaim based on the 2 teaser trailers released so far.

The 45 minute movie follows the Heir of Isildur; the “greatest huntsman and traveler in Middle Earth” on his journey to find the creature Gollum. The creature has to be found to discover the truth about the Ring to protect the future Ringbearer. The script is adapted from elements of the appendices of The Lord of the Rings.

The Hunt for Gollum was made on handouts of just £3000 (about $4000) but was possible as all the actors, film crew etc. did it as a labor of love and weren’t paid for any of their work. Because of trademark/copyright laws, the movie was never made with the intention of making any kind of profit.

It will be available live on the evening of May 3rd (gmt) for free streaming of the full movie on the official The Hunt for Gollum website while simultaneously being premiered at the London Sci-fi festival.

Tickets for the premiere are free but limited but if you are in London and want to check it out you can get details at the Sci-Fi London website by clicking here.
