Warner Bros. is allowing a fan-made 'Lord of the Rings' film to stay on YouTube after it was briefly taken down. On Thursday, it was announced that Warner Bros. is working on a movie titled 'The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum.' Andy Serkis is starring in and directing the project that is being developed by Peter Jackson and his writing partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens. Shortly after the news dropped, a 2009 fan-made film with 13 million views also titled "The Hunt for Gollum" was taken offline for many hours.
