I mean, I assume it will be taking place during the period when he had the ring before losing it to Bilbo?

Warners Allows Fan-Made ‘Lord of the Rings’ Movie to Stay on YouTube

If Warner Bros.’ newly announced The Lord of the Rings movie idea The Hunt for Gollum sounded a bit like fan fiction, that’s because it already is.

There’s a 2009 fan-made film titled The Hunt for Gollum that you can watch below. The film, directed by Chris Bouchard, is rather ambitious. The Hunt for Gollum spans 39 minutes and has received plenty of praise from fans upon its release.

Following WB’s announcement, the film was taken offline for many hours and YouTube put up a notice saying Warner Bros. had filed a copyright claim against the fan movie and blocked it. LOTR fans reacted quite negatively to the takedown online and, early Friday, the film was restored to YouTube.

A studio source says the takedown request was done in error.

No it wasn't

Hilariously, they also claimed that the success of the Gollum video game lead to the film being greenlit. That video game was the opposite of successful.

Honestly................ this looks kinda good?

Visuals weren't the weak link in Se1, hopefully the writing is tightened up.

If I watched the first season, I'll definitely watch that
