We’re not kidding anyone here, faithful readers. It is, in fact, not Tuesday as of this posting. It is a rule of ours to not count it as the next day until we see the glimmer of that first, pink light. Also, this Hunt for Gollum<\/a> business would have come and gone by next Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Boingboing explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nThe Hunt for Gollum is an unauthorized 45-minute fan-film set in the Lord of the Rings universe, set to premiere at the Sci-Fi London film festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The whole thing is being produced for \u00c2\u00a33000 — but it looks like a million. The story was inspired by an appendix to Lord of the Rings, in which Tolkien explains “what Aragorn and Gollum got up to before the trilogy began<\/a>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As far as fan-film trailers go, it wasn’t a horrifying experience. It didn’t choke us “what in hell did I just put into my eyes?!” Which means It has a chance of being halfway decent. If only we lived in London<\/a>.<\/p>\n
