Ancanar.com has updated again, and the independent movie production inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion stories is now officially underway.

Filming began on October 17 and pictures have been posted on the official Web site. "Ancanar" is set in a Beleriand-inspired mythical landscape where a young man, for whom the film is named, sets out to find a hidden city of the Elves after his people have been devastated by a terrible war.

The movie project has created quite a stir among online Tolkien fans.

Producer/actress Raiya Corsiglia may have some competition for breaking hearts among male fans. Check out Carolyn Palmer, who plays an Elven lady. And, ladies, the lead actor, Gregory Lee Kenyon, will probably cause a few sighs in the audience, too.
