This ridiculously awesome forty minute Lord Of The Rings fan film, The Hunt For Gollum, was created “by fans for fans,” but it’s not your average amateur production. It’s “adapted from elements of the appendices,” and it boasts a set of jaw-dropping production values.

The world will be able to watch it for free online beginning May 3rd, after it’s been screened at the Sci-Fi London convention. You can still check out the first and second film trailers now, though, at the official fan site.

Another clip of Tim Burton’s upcoming film 9 has hit the web, and it still looks pretty bad-ass. I had been figuring that the first clip had contained all the best action sequences, but this may end up being one of those uber-rare cartoons that holds your attention from beginning to end.

9 hits the theaters this September.

The official trailer for the upcoming film Moon has hit the web, and it looks like the film is going to be a seriously suspenseful psychological thriller. From the few brief clips shown in the trailer, the film appears to bear a striking similarity to 2001: A Space Odyssey, Solaris and Sunshine. I’m not sure that it’ll be one to see in theaters, but I love the desolate space thrillers.

The posters for this film kind of kick ass, too.

I had my doubts about the upcoming Termainator Salvation film, but this trailer has totally sold me. Now, it looks like it’s going to blow Terminator 3 out of the water and cement the franchise’s place in the action genre. Not to mention that it’s going to have some of the best movie posters seen in years.

Also, don’t miss the new posters and still from the film, posted in the Yahoo! Movies Photo Galleries. They’ve really gone whole hog on this film’s special effects.

Scheduled for a 2010 release the documentary The People vs. George Lucas will be a courtroom-style examination of the fanaticism surrounding the Star Wars franchise… and a good old-fashion roasting of its creator.

Fox has released a new teaser trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine on MySpace.com. Disappointingly, it doesn’t look like it’ll be following the Origin: The True Story of Wolverine miniseries, which is too bad, because that was one solid piece of writing. The movie, starring Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber, opens May 1, 2009.

The latest trailer for the adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Coraline, directed by Henry Selick. It looks to be another animated classic like The Nightmare Before Christmas.

A longer trailer for the Half-Blood Prince has hit the interwebs, and this one is even darker than the shorter version. This film is about half a step from a Tim Burton film, which leaves me with seriously high hopes for the seventh installment.
