Ilford Harman ( http://www.ilfordphoto.com/home.asp ) hasn't even
stopped manufacturing bw film.
However, their current line of films is only available for still photography.

Certainly interesting if they are thinking about returning to that market.

One could ask about it on APUG, Simon R Galley from Ilford is very
active representative there:
