Born of Hope 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. |
