When I first saw the Lord of the Rings films (and the English prequels), I then wanted to make a Lord of the Rings brickfilm. Not a short comedy like this or this (even if they are good ). But, an actual brickfilm with a deep and exciting storyline.

I haven't mapped out the plot completely, but I suppose it could be sort of an alternate storyline. A "revised" twist to the trilogy, if you will. I'm not going to change the whole thing entirely (like replace Orcs with bloodthirsty clowns), but it makes me think, "What if this happened instead?" or "If that happened, then shouldn't that have happened too?". I'll tweak it just a little, like maybe there would be a fifth Hobbit, or if Legolas wasn't an elf. Something different, but not an extreme change.

I'm not sure when I'm going to start production, but hopefully sometime around March 2013. At the moment, I only have four or five LEGO sets (the actual sets that my little brother bought at the LEGO store in Austin), but I'm probably not going to use those. I'll use the minifigs, but I'll try my hand at building my own sets. I'll have to save up enough sets to buy the Hobbit house and [maybe] the Battle of Helm's Deep. So, er...that could take a while.

I'll put out a casting call when I've finished the script, and I'll update this as much as I can. In fact, here's a little sneak peek to get this going. Here's Gandalf the Grey (on the left) and Gandalf the White (on the right). Now, I only have one Gandalf head, so I had to make do with a Lucius Malfoy head. But, you can't tell because it's covered up by his beard.
