I just found out about this - and just watched it right then.
It's a 40-something minute fan-made movie - that nears the movies in it's attention to detail! Pretty good stuff.
Anyone else here seen it yet?
There's a trailer for it at youtube:

I thought it was REALLY well done. Aragorn was cast well. The orcs were pretty much STRAIGHT out of the movie. The soundtrack was good - I don't think there was a dud-effect in the whole thing.
It was pretty spectacular and supposedly made for just £3000!!
Go check it out. I torrented it.
