An unreleased Middle Earth inspired movie

[Nurvingiel]

Nice 'Zales!

Actually I still have a couple quibbles... Shouldn't this be in the Entertainment forum? I also think we should take "Middle Earth" right out of it, since this is a huge source of confusion.

The makers of this movie probably don't mind being mistaken for a Tolkien film, but I don't think we should help perpetuate the mis-information. Because it actually has nothing more to do with Middle-earth than Brook's "The Sword of Shannara" does. (Both are heavily influenced and inspired by Tolkien's works, but they are not actually set in Tolkien's world.)

I may move it, but I'm leaving ME inspired for two reasons. One is that I think it says somewhere in the trailer or something that it is inspired by ME, also that it is the reason this thread was started. Plus, if I took that out, the title would just be "An Unreleased Movie." :P

They went to the Tolkien Estate for help but the Estate was silent. So they had to s-c-r-a-p it and make Ancanar, influenced but not based on Tolkien's works.

Just wanted to put this on the current page for clarification.

Oooooh.... that explains a lot. Thanks 'Zales and Ñólendil!

Too bad they couldn't make Elessar. But Ancanar looks really cool. I hope they finish it.
