I don't think it's much to worry about [In reply to] Can't Post

I am not an intellectual property attorney, but I do know something about copyright law, and I suspect that you are not on very solid legal ground. Even if you are not planning to profit from your work, a strong argument could be made that it could interfere with the profits of those who do own the film rights to this material. I would strongly suggest that you get competent legal advice, if you have not already done so.

There are quite a number of fan made LOTR films out there (and fanfic, RPGs, etc) and, to my knowledge, none have been prosecuted. I'm not saying it's strictly legal, but by the same token this type of thing is actually helpful in keeping LOTR in the mindset of a few people at least, something New Line wants.
