FREE RINGS PREQUEL


Our pal Wendy sent us this free movie that she describes as a “prequel to Lord Of the Rings - made for 25,000 pounds (sterling) by some gal in the UK” – in fact a lady called Kate Madison, who also cast herself as a sword wielding heroine. It’s a remarkable piece of work, like fan fiction graduating to fan film. The official website tells us…

“This hour long 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.” Click here to watch.
