Warners Bros Orders Fan-Made ‘Lord of the Rings’ Movie Removed From Internet After 15 Years | ‘The Hunt for Gollum’ movie has been blocked following the studio’s announcement of their own Gollum movie

'The Hunt for Gollum' movie has been blocked following the studio's announcement of their own Gollum movie.

The fan film likely contains the same story concept that’s fueling the new project, which is being developed by producer Peter Jackson and his writing partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, who “will be involved every step of the way.” Andy Serkis is on board to direct and reprise his role as Gollum. Warner Bros. made the surprise LOTR announcement Thursday during its first-quarter earnings conference call and noted that Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum was a working title. Yet the prospect of a movie seemingly centered around the tormented creature which Jackson and Serkis so memorably brought to life in the original trilogy is receiving some heavy skepticism from fans online.
