The 2009 fan film of the same name, a YouTube mainstay for fifteen years, suddenly vanished. This deletion was due to a copyright dispute with Warner Bros. The abrupt loss left fans grappling with the disappearance of a beloved homage to Tolkien's world, adding a bitter note to their anticipation for the upcoming official film. Despite its unofficial status, the fan film had garnered an impressive 13.6 million views over the years, demonstrating its significant impact within the Lord of the Rings community. Now, fans are left to mourn the loss of a piece of their shared history. The new film will be directed by Andy Serkis and produced by Peter Jackson. Andy Serkis To Direct New The Lord of the Rings Focused on Gollum – Reports.
