I followed this bit of lore - it covers 17-year gap between Bilbo Baggins’s 111th birthday party and the day Frodo finally leaves the Shire. This is cannon and mentioned in the appendices of LOTR. The film is directed by Andy Serkis (Gollum) and I have pretty high hopes that the returning LOTR crew - none other than Peter Jackson to direct ( yes I know the Hobbit - but get the fan edit (there are 2) that strips out all the stuff that isn’t in the book and tell me you don’t like it. ) Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins, and Lee Pace as Thranduil. If it isn’t pure cannon and no bullshit I will ban it from my yearly marathons forever. Fun fact there was a fan film in 2009 that became cannon in our household called The Hunt For Gollum by Chris Bouchard. It covers the exact timelime and was for a time taken down in a dispute. It is back up though, and its a great freaking watch for a fan film. If you’ve read this far don’t miss the fan film Born Of Hope which is also pure cannon and covers Aragons parents and that time frame. In full marathon mode it’s Born of Hope, The fan edit of the Hobbit, Hunt for Gollum, LOTR.
Nice, thanks for the recommendations! I have both fan edits for The Hobbit and they’re my exclusive watch of that story, but I hadn’t heard of the others you suggested. I’ll definitely track them down.
