For once I seem to be announcing something just before it goes live rather than just after. Timing is everything.
“Born of Hope” is a fan-made film coming out of the United Kingdom that purports to tell the story of how Aragorn was born based on the brief account provided in The Lord of the Rings.
It’s my understanding that the cast and crew are largely volunteer film industry professionals who simply wanted to make a fan film that pays homage to Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.
We have had some discussions about “Born of Hope” at SF-Fandom and I encourage people to drop by and share their thoughts after they watch the movie.
Registration is required to post but it is free. If you use Gmail or Hotmail you’ll have to contact the SF-Fandom administrators and ask for assistance or use a different email address.
Sorry about the inconvenience but too many forum link spammers use those services.
ON EDIT: You can watch the movie here when it is made available (scheduled for December 1 2009).
