The Hunt For Gollum Options

[Arilla]

Anyone here hear about this? It was just released May 3rd. Its a short film, forty minutes long, based on a story from The Lord of the Rings appendices. They do quite a good job on it.

The problem is that whenever you get a really good movie and they make a follow up, the follow up tends to suck real bad in comparison and you go away feeling disappointed. The only exception I can think of off the top of my head was the second Shrek film (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) (although by the same note, the third one was rubbish...)

Then again, the Hobbit has already been written and it's awesome; it's not some old rubbish the filmmakers came up with in an attempt to squeeze more money out of their success (cough cough all the classic disney films, e.g. "Cinderella 2", "Snow White 2", "The Little Mermaid 2" etc.)

As good directors, I trust their decisions to pick really good actors, because that is what makes the film in the end.
