THE HUNT OF GOLLUM

he Hunt for Gollum is a 2009 fantasy-adventure fan film directed by Chris Bouchard and based on the appendices of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.[1][2][3] It is set in Middle-earth, where the wizard Gandalf the Grey (Patrick O'Connor) sends ranger Aragorn (Adrian Webster) on a quest to find Gollum, whom he fears may reveal information about the One Ring to necromancer Sauron.

Filming took place in North Wales, Epping Forest, and Hampstead Heath. The film was shot in high definition video, with a budget of GBP£3,000 (USD$5,000).[3][4] The production is completely unofficial and unauthorized, though Bouchard said he had "reached an understanding" with Tolkien Enterprises in 2009.
