Thanks for the link, Rumil.

But what's this! They have anticipated--possibly upstaged-- the "bridge" film that PJ et al were rumoured to be writing!

The 40-minute story is set between The Hobbit and the Fellowship of the Ring.

It is interesting the emphasis put on the "love" that went into the making, as opposed to money-making.

Hi Bethberry,

sort of an interesting choice of subject for the film, perhaps not an obvious one, even given that LoTR and The Hobbit are 'taken'.

Though I did hear somewhere that JRRT once woite something on 'The Journeys of Aragorn' that has sadly been lost.

I wonder if they found the Aragorn/Viggo looky-likey chap before deciding!

Cheers,

Tim

I think it is nothing short of a brilliant choice, precisely because it isn't obvious but at the same time does maintain that tie with the stories that people are the most familar.

I am secretly hoping that the next step in this what will hopefully become a developing saga will be somebody making something regarding Aragorn's travels in Rohan and Gondor.

I guess its not such a secret hope now...*has fevered visions of seeing Aragorn burning the Havens of Umbar on film*

(hopes somebody with a passion for filmmaking and a ton of time on their hands is reading...)

And since it seems to be primarily about Strider, films
on early Aragorn/Arwen and her brothers journeys
to avenge their mum.

Hi Tuor!

Well,this is an absolutely incredible idea!The story of Elladan and Elrohir is one I keep saying to those that know LOTR only from the film-especially from the cinema version -,as it is my firm belief they shouldn't have been excluded.So,for the audience of the net,those fan-films is a good way to expand their image of Middle -Earth to a far larger image.

Anyway,I' M COUTING THE HOURS TO THE PREMIERE!
