Okay, you have NO IDEA how excited I am.  I could literally jump up and scream and run around my whole town (granted, I live in a town with less than 1000 people).

So anywho, I should probably tell you what I'm so psyched about:

A MOVIE IS BEING MADE ABOUT....ARAGORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's called Born of Hope and is supposed to be released on the Internet this fall.  I will keep you informed as best I can on this; please let me know if you know anything else about this movie!!!

In case you're interested, the official website can be found here.

And I have even MORE exciting news...mind you, it's extremely late in coming, but there's another Aragorn fan film called The Hunt for Gollum and it's going to be available for download online THIS SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!  The title basically explains the movie; it's about Aragorn hunting for Gollum.  Its trailer is included in my "Aragorn Fan Films" trailer.

The official website is here; go there to watch a newer trailer, download some music from the movie, and to get the movie once it's released!

Born of Hope is a prequel to the fantasy novels and tells the story of the Dúnedain, the Rangers of the North, before the return of the King.

The 60-minute film, which will be released on the internet next year, focuses on Arathorn and Gilraen, the parents of Aragorn, from their first meeting through a turbulent time in their people's history.

Filming has already begun in Epping Forest in Essex, with the latest footage showing actors trudging through the woods dressed as sword-wielding Orcs.

Kate Robinson, who is directing the film, said: "Born of Hope is a prequel to the New Line Trilogy and my aim is to make a film that can sit alongside those films without looking too out of place.

"We want to show people more of a back-story for Aragorn. Based on Tolkien's writings in the Appendices of the books we look at Aragorn's people and show the relationship between his parents."
