About a week ago, I posted an article about the trailer for the fan film “The Hunt For Gollum.” Once again, here’s the official summary:
“Inspired by notes in the appendices from Tolkien’s ‘The Lord of the Rings’, ‘The Hunt For Gollum’ follows Aragon as he sets out to find the creature Gollum and discover the truth about the Ring…”
The trailer looked really exciting. I have not watched the film yet, but I am highly looking forward to this. Apparently, it was filmed for only $3,000! Amazing! Head on over to TheHuntForGollum.com to watch the entire fan film in HD!

The Mirage Group, the company who owns the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles property (happy 25th anniversary, by the way!), has announced that they are moving forward with a new live-action reboot of the franchise set to be released in 2011! It will focus on the origins of the Turtles and will “remain true to the spirit of the original comicbooks,” says Peter Laird, one of the creators of the comics. He also added that the movie “may employ face replacement technology, which would allow the turtles to be much more expressive,” implying that the characters may not be entirely digital creations.
