i think if you're going to talk about a film of the overthrow of Morgoth, it would probably be better to make one rather about the downfall of angmar as a kind of prelude to eowyn killing the witch king in rotk. then everyone would know why he cannot be killed by a man.

i reckon it would have to be about a certain part of the Silmarillion. I.e. the Tale of Beren and Luthien or the Story of Túrin Turambar somethin like that. could u imagine the Nirnaeth in a movie? that would b such a awesome battle scene... put the Pelennor to shame!

They could try a series of films... like about 6... but that would b nigh impossible to pull off.
but it owuld b worth it to see things like the Nirnaeth, Gondolin, Dagor Brallagch, the fight between Fingolfin and Morgoth before the gates of Angband and of course Valinor!

If they did the Angmar stuff, then people could see the connection between his little. "No man can slay me" and Glorfindel's prophecy. Since Glorfy got cut from LOTR he deserves to be SOMEWHERE!!!!!! But then we wouldn't have Maehdros, and I would be sad. I think I'm too attached to a bunch of elves. Oh well, Legolas is bad enough. And I KNOW what he looks like. (Well, at least he's not in Sil.) I'd probably have entirely too much fun if he was. cuz' I adore Orli. ;D So perhaps we'll get a movie. Mental note to self: petition New Line. After they make the Hobbit.  |

Mind if I jump in? In regards to the Sil. being so long with so many stories, remember, Tolkien started it before the Hobbit and LOTR, and hadn't finished it when he died... The Lord of the Rings itself is just mentioned in a couple paragraphs at the end of the Silmarillion itself!  For me, then, the question isn't 'could or couldn't the Sil. be turned into a movie'. It's 'what Silmarillion stories (or even paragraphs) have the makings of a great epic tale-- that could be written up like LOTR was, and then eventually turned into a movie?' Just my two cents.  I'll shut up now  |

The more i think about the more i think it could be done.
But it would be really different from what we would expect. I think loads of the less significant stories would be totally cut e.g Túrin and Glaurung, Beren and Luthien, Tuor going to Gondolin etc.
plus i think it would have to be at LEAST 3 films.
If it was pulled off then it raise the standards of filmmaking even MORE than LOTR!

they should make a tv mini-series out of the Silmarillion. lol. that was sarcastic. but now that i think about it it might just work. except every time i try to picture it in my head it's a cartoon  ... that wouldn't do at all. |

The LotR cartoon was hilarious! Wonder what Silmarillion would be like!

A T.V. show would be great. At least there would be something interesting to watch and a chapter from the Silmarillion could be used every night. ;D

It would be a short seires but re-runs are always welcome. And maybe the Loast Tales book could be made into shows.
