Kate writes: With principle photography having started in July and the release of their brand new trailer just weeks away the Lord of the Rings inspired film Born of Hope is leaping like a phoenix from the ashes. Since the test shoot over two years ago the website has been a little quiet for those eager to see the finished film but pre production has been quietly ticking over behind the scenes and now that the film is back in production things are really hotting up. Those who know about this ambitious feature film which follows the story of Aragorn’s parents will be excited to see all the new changes and additions to the website plus all the news and photos from the shoot in July. If you haven’t yet heard of this wonderful production yet then check out their website now!

Mark writes: I don’t know if you all have heard any whispers about a 3-D “Hobbit,” but CNN has an article that briefly mentions PJ and GDT in their article about futuristic three dimensional movies, “Film goes back to the future with 3D”:
‘Directors James Cameron and Peter Jackson also have climbed aboard the 3D band wagon — Cameron’s “Avatar” is due out in 2009, while Jackson will produce “The Hobbit,” with Guillermo del Toro directing.’
Ain’t It Cool News contributor Icaddy had the chance to see the unreleased trailer for Peter Jackson’s ‘The Lovely Bones’ at a Paramount press screening in London. This is what he had to say.
“Finally we got to see the trailer for lovely bones – have not read the book myself but my girlfriend ensures me that from the footage I described the film should be a massive hit. Trailer is very upsetting but in my mind give away WAY too much of the plot.”
