Anyone heard of this? I just came accross it on a tolkein website:



Ancanar is the name of a new Movie which is being developed by Elemental Films and Light Pirate Pictures with director Sam. R. Balcomb & producer Raiya Corsiglia. Ancanar is an original story written by director Sam. R. Balcomb and is set in the world created by J.R.R. Tolkien. It is about Ancanar a man who is the sole heir to the Rammoth Valley and its fortunes. He must search the Elven city where he hopes to find the redemption for himself and his family.



Ancanar is currently in post-production. The film will be presented to various studios and distributors for aquisition, as well as possible screenings at film festivals in Los Angeles / New York theaters for 2001/2002.

The Movie's homepage www.ancanar.com is used to bring a new defenition to the term "interactive moviemaking" giving visitor's the chance to watch, hear and participate in every aspect of the production. The site has been updated on September 1st and it is now a very cool Flash enabled site. The official site, Ancanar.com, sees thousands of visitors from around the world each day, and has been awarded several online awards for its design and interactivity. Among its features, guests can view documentaries, clips from the film, interviews with the cast & crew, as well as many stills and production notes. There is a full production section which chronicles each step of the filming process, from casting to location scouting to screen tests. The Interactive section features a Q&A with the cast and crew, where anyone can send in their queries and have them answered. There is even an Interactive Script page, where you can view a page of the Ancanar script and click various hotspots on it to reveal photos and director's notes.
