Born of Hope is an independent feature film inspired by the Lord of the Rings and produced by Actors at Work Productions in the UK. www.bornofhope.com Thanks to Chris Bouchard and the H4G team for putting the film here. It should also be on it’s proper Youtube channels soon ActorsatWork www.youtube.com BornofHope www.youtube.com Check them out for more videos regarding the film including the audio commentary. www.youtube.com A scattered people, the descendants of storied sea kings of the ancient West, struggle to survive in a lonely wilderness as a dark force relentlessly bends its will toward their destruction. Yet amidst these valiant, desperate people, hope remains. A royal house endures unbroken from father to son. This 70 minute original drama is set in the time before the War of the Ring and tells the story of the Dúnedain, the Rangers of the North, before the return of the King. Inspired by only a couple of paragraphs written by Tolkien in the appendices of the Lord of the Rings we follow Arathorn and Gilraen, the parents of Aragorn, from their first meeting through a turbulent time in their people’s history.

So basically we get something better than most movies that cost money, and we get it for free on YouTube? Thanks huntforgollum. You are one of the best YouTubers there are.

@Einheri89 You need to read the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, among others. Very interesting romances in each book.

@Einheri89 erm… so the tale of Tom Bombadil, most of the Children of Hurin as you yourself said, Sam G and whatshername, even Frodo has a love interest in the books.

@moogloo1293 I didn’t say anything about Jackson’s films, and yet you assume I’m a fanboy. And no there is a distinct lack of romance in Tolkien’s works, there’s only a few female characters in it for starters all of whom are more-or-less incidental and have no real bearing on the narrative. This was based on the appendices – only a few lines are said about Arathorn, very little about his love life. With the exception of the Children of Hurin there is almost of romance. YOU need to read it.

@Einheri89 clearly haven’t read Tolkein then for its much more like this than in Jackson’s films

@Einheri89 Well, if that’s not your favorite thing in a film, I can’t fault you for that. Everyone has his or her own likes and dislikes.

@grossepointemichigan I’d settle for just less lovey crap then.

Such accuracy regarding costume wepons etc (elronds suns were top stuff ) cool to see aragorns history which New line films didnt so much of, but of course they had many other good things they had to show as well.

@Einheri89 You really expected more orc fighting in a fantasy adventure _romance_? There’s more than enough fighting here.

It’s great, but far too soppy in parts. More fighting, less kissing.
