'Westernesse' Movie Idea - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't know who else on the 'Downs has seen this; for all I know, I might be resurrecting a deceased equine just to flog it again, but here goes...

While wasting time with my secret vice on Ardalambion (yet again), I found a link to a little side project of Mr. Fauskanger's: a treatment for a potential prequel to both TH and LotR: a movie adaptation of the last part of the Akallabêth, specifically the pride of Ar-Pharazôn the Golden which culminated in the transportation of Sauron; the setting out of the Great Fleet into the West; and, finally, the Downfall, the establishment of the Realms in Exile, and the War of the Last Alliance. The movie would end with a rehash of the prequel to PJ's FotR.

Interested parties can view his work here. I think it looks good and, if I knew anyone in Hollywood and anyone who knew CJRT, would love to pitch it to New Line and the Professor's estate (seeing as the Estate still owns the rights to all of his works apart from TH and LotR).

Thoughts, comments, questions, nasty remarks?
