There's a new Tolkien movie coming soon. It is Fellowship: Tolkien & Lewis, directed by Paul Syrstad. Details from the site Film Freeway: Overview: Even storytellers have beginnings... Two of the greatest literary writers, CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien, must face their friendship, fantasy, and faith, as the worlds of Middle Earth and Narnia hang in the balance. Director Biography - Paul Syrstad: Paul was born in Spain to his English mother and Norwegian father and moved to the UK in 2004 to train as an actor at the "Central School of Speech and Drama" in London. Soon after, he felt called toward filmmaking and writing and so stepped into directing, producing and writing as he set up his own production company called "roarlight", producing The Parables Retold, Testament, and A Heartwarming Story About the End of the World. Director Statement: When I was invited in to a meeting where a studio were going to pitch a new project to me, I wasn't sure what to expect. However, when they started to explain it as "a story that would explore the friendship, faith, and fantasy of..." - I finished their sentence: "of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien." If I had finished the line correctly, then I would know it was the project for me. Sure enough - I was right. Now, to explore those three aspects of these literary giants is an awesome privilege and one I am eager to continue...

Looking at the video from TOR again, this might be a new project either connected to the previous short or entirely original. More to come!

Thanks for the heads-up!
"By Elbereth and Luthien the fair, you shall have neither the Ring nor me!" ~Frodo "And then Gandalf arose and bid all men rise, and they rose, and he said: 'Here is a last hail ere the feast endeth. Last but not least. For I name now those who shall not be forgotten and without whose valour nought else that was done would have availed; and I name before you all Frodo of the Shire and Samwise his servant. And the bards and the minstrels should give them new names: Bronwe athan Harthad and Harthad Uluithiad , Endurance beyond Hope and Hope Unquenchable.." ~Gandalf, The End of the Third Age , from The History of Middle Earth series "He knew now why Beregond spoke his name with love. He was a captain that men would follow, that he would follow, even under the shadow of the black wings."- Siege of Gondor, RotK

I really don't know any more than you do. This seems to be an approximately 13-minute short, so I doubt it will be in many theaters.
