Born of Hope: 2008 Teaser Trailer

[nicotineplz1]

Maybe one day we can see a lotr fan film that only uses tolken languages like quenya, sindarin, dwarvish... (no english)

[trottheblackdog]

@nicotineplz1 Men in Breeland and Gondor spoke Westron, which is most like our English

[ORYGUNLADY]

thumbs up.................so very disappointed that they are not making that bridge

film to tie The Hobbit and LOTR together, but now that Jackson is in charge

no way will it ever happen

[shivannabab]

Just watched the movie. Very well done. Hope kate gets to do some fantasy movie on a big scale.

[SilvaraDragontear]

Just saw the finished movie and was blown away how good it was. Who ever did it, you guys rock!

[neddynesbitt1]

my bff is in it

[sparrowcrazy]

Nice movie, a bit more lively than the Hunt for Gollum.^^

The acting I can live with, after all it a fanmade movie. Although the girl, Elgarain, acts really good.=)

But the weird mixture of clothing is a mystery to me.

Orchs running around with bits of orange cloth in their armour, Arathorn in, what looked like an almost modern skin jacket, (that actually made me pause the movie for a better look) you can see it not handsewn, and what's with the fakeskin west Gilraen is wearing?;P

[Brainwavez]

Very impressive. First fan-made film I have ever enjoyed... I may even donate which is very rare for me to donate to a project like this.

I wonder what the official stance on torrenting the movie would be? I would like to know what Konami's claim is.

[wanderingeye]

Who the hell are Konami? Saw that the movie had been pulled. Are they just another corporate bunch of greedy bastards...? I make films and am aware that with careful planning and imagination you can achieve loads at a fraction of what most film companies charge. Konami, are you the latter? My Dixons hand held £229 mini DV camera earned me £20,000 + in commissions. Brilliant that you achieved this within your budget. Fuck off Konami, you should be proud if anything.

What are those structures made of sticks behind them? Are they supposed to be dwarf tents or something?

[ActorsatWork]

They are actually single man survival shelters. One had been built by people on a bushcraft survival day so we used it and made a half built one too.

[beadymeady]

I haven't seen the movie so can't critique it, but some of the comments left here are obviously left by unimaginative morons.

Since you have trouble spelling anyway I wonder what kind of piece of shit movie you'd come up with if all you had was the money you could scrape together yourself and your own fucking initiative.

[captinFURIOUS]

its real easy to copy the style of someones work i know have an orginal idea wankers

[jay942942]

Hunt for Gollum is WAY better.

[pepsik1234]

Cheap

Bad acting

Bad filming, rly boring, they should work on the camera movments.

Crappy costumes

Not enough emotions

Sry but thats the truth

[capndax2000]

you are crazy...it is very well done as well

We make movies. that require a lot of work.

If you like fantasy movies I am part of a film group movies made by Shadowyn films on You Tube

movie like Soul Searching or a Chritsmas movie called Wintertide

[pepsik1234]

@capndax2000

Ok mate I admit I that was a stupid replay of mine, for a fan movie it is very good but I still think that u guys have to work on camera moving, look how directors all over the world make the camera moving look good cuz seriously in that one it was kinda boring I prefer camera moving left right, up down, switches to make it more fun to watch, work on colour correction and stuff like that

[capndax2000]

Hey just another opinion. How we see things are always relative ehh! We would love to have more comments on the movies we make as well. Please!!!

We like ideas for story, and chracters who whould be alive or dead! At Shadowyn films we want it to be interactive with the audience for their likes.

So enjoy. If you want the viewing list as the movies are a series please email me.

[sharosaurus]

CHEAP MOVIE !

look at everyone's brand new costume... soooo unreal :D lol

[knarkworst]

GREAT FILM!! right,.... fagsss xD

[Sareth987]

@knarkworst

Notice that this video is made by FANS and doesnt have any professional actors. I think this is very good!

[myowngenesis]

@knarkworst you know, either you appreciate the film or you don't. You wanna go and suck independent cinema dry go right ahead. I actually found it pretty entertaining. But that's me.

[moekanz]

this was an amazing film, if you haven seen it yet then fuckin wath it. huge kudos to the guys over  at actors at work for this ...

[captinFURIOUS]

I did wath this film and fawt it wath shit!

Learn how to spell arth hole

[tianmingh]

learn how to spell "dumbass" first

[LiliScarlett8]

Huummm, maybe because Guillermo del Toro is already making "The Hobbit" ?

Or maybe because they just want to make a film about Arathorn instead of Bilbo ?

What a weird question.

[Arwen8584]

I am confused why dont they just make the hobbit instead of all these other weird things

[moogloo1293]

lol because not only would they have to pay millions in royalties and rights, but also because Peter Jackson is directing the Hobbit, due for release in 2011/2012

[lavender8881]

@Arwen8584

they are making the hobbit right now but are having trouble because the Tolkien faimily are sueing the people making it because they arn't getting the money.

These are just fan made ones to fill in the gaps :)

[monarchy7000]

Well, the LotR is British...

And it's a -fan- film!

[PutchKash]

what is it with the British ??? cant they make stories on their own ??? does it always have to be based on other stories ? first the Catcher in the Rye and now this ???

[catycatcat4]

Idiot i'm pretty sure Tolkien was british.

The acent fits this style the best.

[Malfinnien]

It's amazing how much hotter men get when you give them long hair, muddy clothes and a sword :D

[TheatricalGirl]

Exactly what I thought too =) ^^

[LeoWestRyder]

chris bouchard started off as a camera man for born of hope when we did the first couple of shoots, and he really liked it and so did hunt for gollum along side it

[VoyagerFilms93]

can't wait for this. won't be much longer now.

[ChrisGooderham1]

Oh man i can't wait for this film, looks so great

[neverquestionyoda]

Very ambitious! I'm really looking forward to seeing this, both as a film buff and as a Tolkien fan.

[ybcara]

its out in december the movie.

[Samanov91]

the colors should be darker and greyer

[LiveNewArts]

wooow! they spent 25 grand on this, it betta have wargs and stuff ..... thts loads for something this armature... Perhaps they spent it on assembling those little houses. I just hope they didnt spend it on tht terrible music.

They'll have to really push themselves if they want to get it popular, coz tht other1, hunt for gollum got there first....

Looking forward to it anyway, looks like it gonna have some good bits.

[gokory]

they made hunt for gollum....

[LiveNewArts]

erm ....no they didn't...hunt for gollum was made by a composer called Chris Bouchard...but some of the hunt for gollum team also helped make this

[gokory]

thats wat i meant because the people at hunt for gollum . com said "watch our upcoming movie trailer BoH"

[Phillipoosas]

i hope it has lots of orcs and wargs and other creatures and lots of action.

[FireChildSlytherin5]

Great job! I so want to see it. :)

[Zitronenschluerfer]

this is great!! I'm very fascinated by this!! I also watched the other trailer! I'm looking forward to this movie with a lot of excitement!!!

[grossepointemichigan]

>>I just wish that this trailer had more action. The movie do have fights, right?

Go to their website and see the trailer from this May. You'll be very happy you did.

[GameboyT1]

Arathorn was one of my favourite characters of all time, and i always looked for things about him. I just wish that this trailer had more action. The movie do have fights, right?

[jeronjenningsproduct]

I doubt it will b as good as The Hunt 4 Gollum

[jeronjenningsproduct]

wasnt expecting negative comments for that. i just meant that H4 gollum was amazing, and what are the chances this will b that good?

but then again i used to think h4g was gonna suk b4 i saw it

[grossepointemichigan]

>>what are the chances this will b that good?

The chances are really, really REALLY good!

[sadapindo]

ofcourse it look awesome... but it looks more in time of knights and king arthus etc.

[DMaustrap]

Cant wait for you guys to put the finishing touches on this one.

[andyP503]

trailer is ok but need more action and music sucks

[kaaaile]

It would be great

[bobmilldew]

im in this movie as an extra!!!!

[sHiNsAiKo]

LOL

[ainjeldahst]

yeah? what's the movie like?

[cellomaniac94]

i would be grateful if you could give me the name of the soundtrack

[BladesOrsi]

It seems BRILLIANT!! must see!

[nefredil]

YEs! i recently watched the Hunt For Gollum, and i must admite, those men did the fantastic job! And i think that the new era of making the "secondary" scenes from the book are going to be shoot and put in videos, which is awsome then again! I myself would like to see a mini-series of Sillmarilion! Now that would be challenge, but i would call upon Peter jackson to shoot it :-))!

[youtuyevideos]

this is Fake

[SeraphinaZoe]

Looks very professional!

I will definitely see this movie! ^^

[BAMF5550123]

dont hate me for saying this but this is wrong

the dunedain were very nomadic and were very good at it therefor there wasnt much struggling going on

most of the Dunedain had dark brown or black hair

the general area the covered was under a light blanket of snow alot of the time looks good though

[josuassy4]

You are wrong the dunedain weren't always nomadic people they were descendants of Isildur and they had great power, they made Weathertop and their capital was Fornost until Angmar destryed all of this

[BAMF5550123]

yes the Dunedain were close decendants of the Numenoriens

The men of Numenor wer verry tall nad most if not all the time had brown and black hair.

this does look good casting looks great.

[Istojataachatearme]

Tolkien generalized Numenorean men as tall, black haired and with hard faces.

These people dont cut it.

[Anarchizer]

do it better faggot

[Istojataachatearme]

For them, it's a matter of deciding if it's worth hacking tolkien's universe for this end. I certainly dont think so.

And Im not an homosexual.

[1TifaTifa1]

This will be sooo awesome! It already looks so wonderful and it's not even finished yet ..

Good luck to everyone involved in the movie~!

[StreetDriftRacer]

This will be amazing!!! I can't wait!

[Vivicidal]

Looks good!

[Istojataachatearme]

Oh no! Red headed and blond dunedan!

[ActorsatWork]

I know, not everyone will approve of the fact that Gilraen has very light brown hair. However we decided that it worked and for the film we also needed to distingish easily between the key characters. Not sure who you mean by the red head? Elgarain's hair has a redish tint and Dirhaborn's is also lighter than most Dunedain. Oh well. It's hard to please everyone.

[grossepointemichigan]

Don't worry, Kate! Peter Jackson had strawberry blond Dunedain--Boromir and Faramir. You are correct--you can't please everyone. Just keep doing what you are so brilliantly doing!

[BAMF5550123]

no Boromir was no a Dunedain

but he did have black hair in the books

[grossepointemichigan]

>>no Boromir was no a Dunedain

but he did have black hair in the books

Yes, he was. "Dunedain" means "Men of the West." The people of Gondor were descended from the faithful Numenoreans who escaped the Fall of Numenor--as were those who lived in Arnor. Elendil's son's were Isildur (ruled in Arnor) and Anarion (ruled in Gondor). Aragorn's lineage eventually brought the two lines back together, which is cool.

[dagmaer]

If hairs are going to be split (pun intended) does it really matter what colour hair they had? if we are to believe that Faramir and Boromir are brothers, how come the latter has a very pronounced Yorkshire accent ;) Its a film! and all open to "poetic licence". Let us not let insignificant triva mar a good film :D

[alwyssmi7]

Ignore all the mean comments, I think this is an amazing idea and I am glad someone thought of it. I cannot wait to see it when its done, it looks so good

[OrkHarrid]

Just an update for all you eager fans out there. We start filming again in March. This will be the bulk of the fight scenes and some amazing Orc v Ranger fights!

Keep your eyes peeled for more teasers.....

[funsweety]

wow, thank you before putting this trailer on. I haven't saw this one namely

[grossepointemichigan]

I have not recently reiterated how incredible this project is, so I'll say it now: THIS LOOKS AWESOME!

[smonoco]

looking forward to this.

[dasBibs]

very cool project!

[bennysantini]

londo0 {Looks really good :). Have you guys talked to Peter Jackson? Wat about Tolkien estate?}

I think you'll find they havent incorporated anything thats been copywriterd or trademarked, ect ect because Tolken never actually wrote about Aragons parents in full length {he only whispered about them} so they can make up whatever they want to as long as it doesnt involve Tolkens written protected works.

[ElephantStampUK]

The cinematography looks really nice.

[Aseldaar]

Beautiful cinematography in here. Definitely not just a "fan film".

[13warriorx]

umm ithink its alright but you neva know it might have more action than you think.i think that halifirien trailer is much betta sept tthe camera but there not rich!!!!! they dont spend loads of money on a fan film!!! is it romantic or wat comon whens this film eva gunna com out

[Heresey666]

learn to fucking spell

[RyanKelleyTV]

Good music.

[kitaru0kun]

I'm tickled with excitement.

[Diegowench]

That is quite a teaser. Count me in as another one who can't wait to see this one. :)

[londo0]

Looks really good :). Have you guys talked to Peter Jackson? Wat about Tolkien estate?

[rfluegel]

Wow, this looks amazing! I'm so excited to see the full film!

[grossepointemichigan]

Fantastic, Kate!

[Tenial]

Oof, this was a really good teaser. I'm anxious to see it myself, and I'm glad it's still in production. :D Kudos, and keep it up!

[ChocolateCoveredFilm]

Looks amazing! Some beautiful shots in there. I'm excited to learn more about the story!
