Born of Hope is released today! |
| Orcs are back... for all you lucky LOTR fans, today the next unofficial chapter is released, by our friends, Actors at Work Productions. You can see it online at www.bornofhope.com ! We're delighted that director Kate, who helped us a lot with THFG has finally finished her epic 70 minute, all-new LOTR prequel. It tells the story of Aragorn's parents and so it's set around 75 years before The Hunt For Gollum in the Middle-earth timeline and is packed with even more Orcs, Rangers battles. A truly spectacular acheivement. You can see Born of Hope online right now at.... www.bornofhope.com or www.dailymotion.com/bornofhope |

Viewing figures continues to rise |
| The viewing figures for the film have reached over 3.2 million after 3 months of release on Dailymotion and Youtube Movies. As the initial buzz died down figures have now dropped to a steady 5-10 thousand views per day. It's nice to see that people are still discovering the film. According to a K-State Web 2 expert it was the fourth most watched film in the USA in early May, beaten only by blockbusters such as Star Trek and X-men Origins: Wolverine! We at THFG are very proud of the reception and messages from many who have seen it. |

Don't forget it's just a home movie... |
| Don't forget folks, this production is just an unofficial home movie, made by a bunch of Tolkien enthusiasts for love of the material. The budget has been scraped together by ourselves, nobody was paid and no money will be made from it. So yep it's purely our way to express our tribute to this magical world. It's exciting that so many other fans like us have posted supporting words on our guestbook. Thank you all for your kind comments and support! The editing of the film will take a lot of work but we hope to put it online in early 2009. |
