Corridor Digital Presents: SHADOW OF MORDOR Fan Film
Invariably, to describe the journey taken by director Peter Jackson in paving the way for J.R.R. Tolkien’s cinematic universe for The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit trilogies as something “epic” almost doesn’t do it any justice. It’s been nearly two decades since Jackson took the necessary steps to bring the books to life, and the franchise has already built itself a humongous following in time for the theatrical finale, The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies, this December.
Of course, the franchise has its own video games as well, one which goes public later this month in the form of Middle Earth: Shadow Of Mordor from Warner Bros. Interactive. With that in mind, pan over to writing/directing duo Sam Gorski and Nico Pueringer, otherwise known as Corridor Digital, infamous for adhering to video game lore through the magic of film. The two just released their own inspired eight-minute short based on the new game featuring actors Billy Bussey, Clinton Jones and EMC’s own Xin Sarith Wuku, with action sequences by stunt coordinator and tokusatsu veteran, Luke LaFontaine.
Check it out, and keep your eyes peeled for the game between now and October on various platforms if it suits you.
