Not for me it isn't. It's stunning for sure, but played out like that pop song the radio wouldn't give up all through summer. It's the Uptown Funk of movie cues...

I have to say, Romão, that, after listening to all three scores on the DVD-As of the box-sets, that the statement is 100% accurate, and not hyperbole. These scores are a stunning achievement.

KK 3,307 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 1 hour ago, JohnSolo said: So the Hobbit can be adapted into a film trilogy, but the Silmarillion can't? Because that worked out so great, didn't it?... Besides, the Silmarillion is on a whole other playing field. The Hobbit tells a largely straightforward narrative, while the Silmarillion is a far grander epic that spans many generations and covers many individual stories. If anything, it's better suited for a mini-series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 The Silmarillion is better suited for a television series or miniseries. It's episodic in nature. Little stories that jump ahead by centuries or around a now-sunken continent, starring many characters that would not get a lot of screen time. I think the most compelling way to turn it into a film and/or TV series would be to make Sauron the central character. Was he always evil? Why did he turn to evil? Did he do it for love? Shit, I got this confused with another prequel. After all, much of The Hobbit's padding was spent discussing this dark cloud and how it was amassing an army. Sauron's adventures on Numenor would predate his Ring and his Nazgul. Trying to turn The Silmarillion into a movie is like someone saying, well, Ben-Hur made a great movie, The Passion was a success, Jesus Christ Superstar was good, so let's turn the whole Bible into a movie. The Silmarillion is basically Tolkien's Bible. A bunch of small stories with a centuries long arc that's too ambitious to film. If you really want your Silmarillion trilogy, you spend the first two movies discussing the creation of the world, Valinor, Melkor, the Silmarils, Gondolin, and you end with Melkor's exile. The third movie would be tacked on to show Al-Pharazon and the fall of Numenor, to connect to the events mentioned in TLOTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,645 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 The Hobbit is almost the antithesis to the Silmarillion. Don't understand why one would draw conclusions from the Hobbit about a potential Silmarillion film series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
