Since the fan phenomena hit the Internet and computer’s allowed access to video editing, Fan made trailers have kept many of us laughing, crying, and coming back for more. Places like TheForce.net’s Fan Films and FanMadeTrailers.com have focused our attention on these Fan made trailers and given us a consolidated location where we can satiate our need for more.
As in most things, Lord of the Rings fans do not like to be outdone. And this has caused a massive swelling of art, writing, and even fan trailers/movies. Currently there are two different repositories of Fan made trailers relating to Lord of the Rings, Fan.TheOneRing.net’s Multimedia Gallery and FanMadeTrailers.com’s Lord of the Rings Section.
With the recent release of the first official theatrical trailer for Lord of the Rings, there has also been a flurry of activity in the area of satirical trailers. The most notable entries are
The Complete “Lord of the Rings” Movie (circa 1944)
From the man who did the illustrious Sunday Times‘ homework for them, O. Sharp has struck again. I would explain a little more about this trailer, but I don’t want to ruin the surprise that is in store for you. The author of the Tolkien Sarcasm page has definately out done himself with this one.
ModernHumorist.com is always at the fore front of making me laugh. They are offering a little constructive criticism to New Line with Good Lord of the Rings on how to make a truely wonderful trailer.
