A new Redwall movie project in the works?


Recently, I discovered that the redwallmovie.com domain is now active, with a large teaser image in the background - "Redwall: Return of the Warrior".
When I first visited the site, something was there that now is not - a form to sign up to be a part of their e-mail list.
Being suspicious, given the unfortunate past (and recent history) revolving around the effort to bring Redwall to the big screen, I looked up the domain registrant information, and found the owners to be a "Lumination Studios" - in turn owned by CGI storytellers, The Miller Brothers - who, like Imagen Studios, are based out of the greater Seattle, Washington area.
Strangely, after contacting these guys - who look like a legitimate company - two things happened. First, that e-mail list link vanished from the redwallmovie.com site. Second, a service that allows domains registrants to be anonymous was added to redwallmovie.com, meaning if you try to look up the owners now, you wouldn't be able to find out.
So as of right now, no idea if this is legitimate or not, it's possible this is a concept site for pitching a movie. Either way, I'd like to know what's going on here, so hopefully one of the Millers will respond.


Edit:
Also worth noting, this company has started http://www.rememberingjacques.com/, a memorial site for Brian Jacques.

  1. as far as I know. It was gonna be a Movie. But, it was put on Hold. Due to some people refusing to do it, cause they did Not like or want to do a Redwall movie.
