A Simple Walk Into Mordor Trailer
To celebrate the release of The Hobbit this month, two super nerds will do in six days what took Frodo and Sam three movies to complete. They will walk the 120+ mile journey across New Zealand from the filming location of Hobbiton in Matamata to the filming location of Mount Doom, Mount Ngauruhoe. They will sleep on the ground, cross rivers, and of course, eat Lembas Bread. Documenting the entire journey on video, the two Lord of the Ring fans will prove that one does simply walk into Mordor.
In day two and three of their journey, the physical pain and exhaustion hit the hobbits hard. And when they become lost in a forest, they must find their way out before nightfall when the temperature drops to freezing.
On the third part of their journey, the hobbits suffer through ever worsening blisters, dodge cars, and take on a 70km stretch of highway.
In the final episode of A Simple Walk Into Mordor, our hobbits attempt to take a shortcut through private property as they make their way to Mount Doom.
After "destroying" the ring on top of Mount Doom, it wasn't long before it resurfaced!
Premieres September 21st on Rooster Teeth After 10 years, Chris Demarais and Kerry Shawcross return to New Zealand to retrace their footsteps walking from Hobbiton to Mt. Doom, only this time it'll be bigger, better and they're OLDER. Sounds simple!

It's the end of Day 1 and our Hobbits are completely exhausted. In order to continue on (or sleep), Chris and Kerry must first complete an unexpected task. Our Hobbits could use the rest because tomorrow they must battle blisters, barrels, and big ol' bees if they want to make their goal for the day. Despite learning nothing from their previous journey, the boys venture onto a closed forest trail, hoping to make up some ground and definitely not get lost along the way...
