Good for her. I have to check it out.

The film follows Arathorn and Gilraen, from their first meeting to their journey across a fantasy landscape where they lead their people, the Dunedain, into battle against orks and trolls.

Orks?

I’ll have to sit down in front of the computer at home and give this a watch...

Sounds great. But will the copyright owners sue her? Hope things turn out OK for her.

bump.

1.5 million views at a fraction of the budget...

Tag to watch later. Could be worth it.

That’s all fine till she tries to make .12c on it, then she can expect the giant metal fist of Mr. Saul Zaentz to come down hard.

>> LOTR fanatic reaps fruit of labour as her £25,000 prequel scores 500,000 views on the internet

I’m not sure I’d define “views” as a “fruit of labor”. Has she made any money off of it ... recouped her costs?

She’s an attractive woman, and is acting in the film. What she’s really doing is putting out a very creative advertisement.

Even if she gets sued, the giant ad is doing what it’s meant to do. Other actresses would spend that money putting new boobs in.

Very cool! She even starred in the movie, and, IMHO, she's hot!

I’ve been following this film for a year, so exciting for us LOTR fanatics. Also a blow against the destructive power/culture of Hollywood. Spread the word, gotta support the independent film makers. BTW, is Andrew Levy our TV’s Andy Levy? Probably not, but it’s funny.

Fabulous. My son and I will sit down and watch it together (if we have electricity, that is). The trailer is good, though I see some touches of amateurism. So desperate for LOTR now that I’d watch almost anything. How can I possibly wait for the Hobbit in 2011, and why does it have to be in two parts?

[Bassfire]

I watched it, it’s really amazing that she was able to make a nicely done mini-movie for so little money. Good quality film and sound, nice plot line and actors/costumes. Two pats on the back for a job well done. She should have producers knocking on her door soon.

Ping-a-ling!

[paudio]

The trailer is as good as some ‘serious’ and big-budget Hollywood movies. She might be hit with copyright issue, though, since her orcs look like the ones from the PJ movies.

A great hour spent. Well done!

Do you have any background info on this? Thanks, FRiend.
