The Hunt for Gollum, which shares a title with a new official film, was removed in error.
The timing seemed just a little too precious. A day after Warner Bros . announced it would be making a new Lord of the Rings film called “ The Hunt for Gollum ,” a fan film with the same name that had been online for 15 years was removed from YouTube. “This video contains content from Warner Bros Entertainment , who has blocked it on copyright grounds,” a screen capture on X read. However, a few hours after the takedown, the short film was restored to the site. A spokesperson for Warner Bros .
Another could be that a person specifically had it taken down because it shared a title with the new movie, later saw that fans were not at all happy about that, and then they went back on the decision. Both would qualify as mistakes and it’s unclear which is the real reason. Nevertheless, it’s over and it’s back. “We’re back, thanks to WB for being so understanding to us as fans and artists,” a new comment from the film’s main channel, Independent Online Cinema, read.
