It was part of PJ's 'simplification' of the story so as to not overtax the feeble minds of the ticketbuying public, to excise all mention of Arnor from the movies whatsoever. The *only* appearance is in the EE-only Aragorn/Eowyn scene, where she realises he is one of the Dunedain Rangers, and he mentions that the North-Kingdom was long destroyed. But nothing which otherwise ever suggests that Gondor had a twin realm, or who the Rangers were.

Stll, I hate that far less than Elves at Helm's Deep!
