#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Well, he did play a younger Charles Xavier. So he has a history of taking over from Shakespearian thesps....But really, Olórin, Gandalf, Mirthrandir is barely mentioned in the Sil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 The film version of the Sil will be the opposite of what they are doing with The Hobbit!It will be one film, just two hours long, and even though much of the characters and stories are cut it will still feel crammed full and won't make any sense to anyone.If I am not mistaken the Tokien estate holds the film rights to the Sil, and are probably not planning to hand them over....

Brónach 1,302 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 How long can they hold them?Ah, I wish the rights the Tolkien's stuff were gone just like Lovecraft's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Well, as I understand them they have never sold them. The Sil as a movie won't work. If it has any chance it would have to be a expensive mini-series. And I don't think PJ should touch it. This is all about the Elves, and that is actually not his strongest subject.

Jay 37,368 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 An HBO miniseries with each episode being directed by different people would be the best way to do it. Like a Band Of Brothers or The Pacific but in Middle Earth / Arda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,302 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'm not sure I'd want it approached as a single thing.You can draw material from it for some beautiful and coherent fantasy/adventure/tragedy/drama films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,198 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 But really, Olórin, Gandalf, Mirthrandir is barely mentioned in the Sil...They could just have him lurking in the background of all the Nienna scenes.How long can they hold them?2043 I assume. Unless the copyright term gets extended again in the meantime.I'm not sure I'd want it approached as a single thing.You can draw material from it for some beautiful and coherent fantasy/adventure/tragedy/drama films.As I've said before several times: I want the Sil turned into an Attenborough styled documentaryish series.

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 JRR Tolkien just stole the Ring from Wagner. And he stole the rest of the story from various myths.What a hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 If Jackson did The Silmarillion it would be a trilogy, at least at first, until they announced that they intend to extend it by another thirteen movies, mainly to allow adequate breathing room to deal with their Eru vs. Morgoth subplot. And Legolas would be in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 No, he would be too busy commanding the defense of Gondolin from Smaug's great grandfather.And it'd turn out that Peregrin Took built C3PO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Tolkien and the Tolkien Estate would never allow this. They're already suing Warner, and correctly so, for exceeding the merchandising rights.
