A Board devoted to Ancanar? What say you!

Good Day All forumites,

Myself (IHD) and Fëalossë my co-moderator for the 'Movies' part of WotR have a question for you all.

How many of you would be interested in a separate section (board) to discuss and post news on the upcoming Tolkien inspired film "Ancanar"? It's one of the few fantasy films we're likely to see made in the next few years and looks like it'll be a treat, with lots of material us Tolkien lovers will find familiar. Basically the section would be like what we have now for 'the Hobbit'. We, the moderators, feel that it may be worth having a separate board for Ancanar since it is Tolkien related (and this way you won't have to try and find it amongst the many threads in the 'Other Movies' board ).

So vote on the poll and let us know what you think!

PS: If any of you are wondering just what in the name of Erü Ancanar is anyway, there is a development trailer out that is quite interesting. View it here. If any of you heard about the project a few years ago and saw the original trailer and got turned off (yup it was a bit cheesy) I'd strongly recommend watching the new trailer (the one I've linked to).

Run across Ancanar before... looks like they've come a long way since I last saw
I think it's a idea

Well, I obviously think it's a good idea (otherwise I wouldn't be mentioned in the announcement)!

Hey this looks cool I am positively giddy, seeing as I just found out about the Tristan/Isolde movie and now this too! I can't get enough of anything medieval-ish or fantasy...and if this has elves, well, thats just an added bonus!

Thanks guys for keeping us all updated!This looks pretty dang sweet, and the thread idea sounds good

Just so everybody's 100% clear, we are proposing a new 'board' for Ancanar. Right now Amon Hen is divided into boards for the LotR movies (FotR, TTT, and RotK) plus the Other Movies board. So not just a new thread but a new board.

Actors are one of the many things that would be open to discussion on a new board. (well they are already in the general thread we have in the other movies board but we could have an entire thread devoted to the Ancanar cast).

Another positive vote, here. I think it's a very good idea, guys . Ancanar does, indeed, look interesting, and I think a board devoted to it could make for a lot of *new* interesting discussions .

This is a great idea, that I support 100%---:-) I have been following this project since the very beginning and am involved in numerous ways with its creative team, plus run an Ancanar special on herenistarion.org -- I would love to not only discuss this project--since I really dislike the LOTR films---I also am planning an all Ancanar track at the next Gathering focusing on its linguistics, etc ---plus share with you all the manuscripts we are developing for the film:
http://www.herenistarion.org/images/Rammoth_Map1.html

http://www.herenistarion.org/ancanar/Arbedil.html

as they are developed :-)

This is a project near and dear to my heart, as dear to me as Tolkien's written works--and a thread does not have to be created to appease my own fandom, but in hopes of sharing it with everyone else who may not be as familiar with the project, which is my hope that everyone who learns of its tales, stories, and various pilot scenes will garner the same love I have for it---if you did not see the older trailer I can find out where its hosted.

Aww shucks Amithrellas thank thee kindly --- just as an added thought--I have since uploaded the old trailer to my herenistarion.org server, and can send links to folks--and have also added new pics of the latest Ancanar manuscript project--the Book of Aglanar: Notes On the Reamilyan Characters--
Huh? What? what the book of aglanar? and reamilyan? Well for that you will have to reads the books of lore on Ancanar.com--but as a treat here are pics of the manuscript Jessica and I did:

Its the section from the Book of Aglanar--Notes on the Reamilyan Characters

This has a leather rap around pages of a pulpy consistency--the wrap has a date but is partially obscured, which also tells what its is---

Here are the pages all layed out---

Enjoy!~

Anthony

Another vote here. I can't believe I missed this, but I'm glad it's getting a worthwhile shot at some well-deserved attention.

Well this has gone without a vote for a few days so I think we've got a pretty clear cut case. 75% of you really want an Ancanar board!

So expect one soon. Thanks for voting everbody.
