The preproduction, concept art, props, already scouted locations, etc. were not thrown to waste however but used to make another fantasy movie instead. The story treatment can be found in teh interwebz (or could a few years back), once you get past the shock (due to the unfaithfulness to the text, if not spirit), it actually reads as an interesting take on the story and has several novel (if purist-rage-inducing) ideas, alongside with some heavy-handed symbolism (but that's Boorman FOR YOU).
