Game-related fan films are a dime a dozen at this point, and if there's an MMO out there, chances are someone's made a movie out of its in-game footage and uploaded it to the web. The Fellows Hip: Rise of the Gamers is a horse of a different color, though, as most of its footage is live-action and it focuses on Turbine'sLord of the Rings Online as a plot element instead of the narrative canvas proper.
A Casual Stroll to Mordor is currently featuring a new trailer for the film, which tells the tale of a geeky guy who finds meaning (and apparently, a girl) while questing his way toward the top prize in a LotRO gaming competition. Check out the trailer after the cut, and read more about the flick at The Fellows Hip website.
Very cool looks like it's well done, far too often when you see gamers portrayed they are fat and 40 something, it's nice to this is about kids around my age.
Thanks for the mention! Hopefully we'll be doing a live interview with A Casual Stroll to Mordor soon. Anyone who wants to keep up with news about the film can join our Facebook group, The Fellows Hip Movie: https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_39670886057
