“The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum” is a fan-made prequel to The Lord of the Rings films, focusing on the pursuit of Gollum. In this trailer, we see a younger Aragorn, played by a different actor (not Viggo Mortensen), as he embarks on a mission to track down the creature Gollum, who has been captured by the Elves. Gollum is crucial to the fate of Middle-earth, as he holds information about the location of the One Ring.

The trailer emphasizes a darker, more intense atmosphere, showing Aragorn’s determination to find Gollum before he can escape and fall into the wrong hands. There’s a focus on the relationship between Aragorn and Gollum, with Gollum’s internal struggle between his two personalities—Gollum and Sméagol—showing the character’s tragic nature.

The trailer also teases action, danger, and the looming shadow of Sauron’s power as Aragorn faces challenges in tracking down Gollum across dangerous terrains. Andy Serkis, who famously portrayed Gollum in the Lord of the Rings films, provides his voice in this trailer, which stays true to the original portrayal of the character.

Though it’s a fan project, the trailer captures the essence of Middle-earth, with a focus on the pursuit and the internal conflict surrounding Gollum, setting the stage for the events that will later unfold in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
