Born of Hope [In reply to] Can't Post

So those who complain that the Estate is somehow blocking the production of more Tolkien-derived films are really doing so for no reason. It's all speculation about something that most probably will not happen.
Yet I've just come across reference to a film "Born of Hope" of which I know next to nothing, but believe it deals with the story of Aragorn's parents, Arathorn and Gilraeth. Was this approved by the Estate?

I believe Tolkien himself wanted his writings to become an inspiration for a whole mythos, and am sure he would not have wanted to stop anyone using his ideas in any creative form. Yes, he himself must always be acknowledged as the ultimate source, and where done commercially the estate is entitled to some reward but I would be saddened to learn they were being obstructive.
