a Silmarillion movie? - Page 4

Why thank you for your greeting Sister Golden Hair

I actually hope PJ does try to make it into a movie. I think it would be stunning. I hope nobody else tries to do it, b/c in my opinion, PJ is the man now when it comes to LotR.

The Hobbit would make an EXCELLENT movie!!!

Namarie, Maren

Okay, I looked it up. New Line Cinema own the rights to the Hobbit and the Sil as well. I don't know whether to be horrified, or filled with a deep sense of forboding....

As much as I gripe about the LOTR movie, well, the action at least suits it, sort of. I don't think PJ's style would suit the Sil at all. I dunno - I really liked Bad Taste, Heavenly Creatures, and the Frighteners, but only because his trade mark directing style melded well with the subject matter.

Although: Not wanting to write it off altogether, Cirdan you're onto something there. A miniseries could work. But certainly not helmed by PJ: but I'm at loss for suggesting a director.

I was wondering about choice for director myself. There have been quite a few Authurian/Medieval period pieces; some better than others. "the Mists of Avalon" was a bit heavy-handed, but the CBS version of Joan of Arc was well done. I would think if someone were to capitalize on the popularity of the New Line productions they should probably start moving soon. I expect New Line would at least do the Hobbit while Ian is still available. I would like to see the tie-dye dwarves' beards. Hmmm, I wonder if we can get funding. BoP, are you available to work on the screenplay for the Sil?
