Films, as in multiple movies just for Silmarillion, like he did for the Hobbit? Guess that’s very thoughtful of him to think about letting the fanedit community have another moment to shine in saving his bloated adaptation.
I can’t see how The Silmarillion could work as a single film, given how it is structured.
Would really be best done in several discrete films, and they don’t even need to be named “Silmarillion”. Heck, you could probably make several films just from the Morgoth wars, never mind the other stories… Plenty of material without stretching it too thin like they did to The Hobbit.
There is simply too much going on in The Silmarillion to cover it in a single movie or even a trilogy.
It always felt a lot epic than LOTR IMO, even it is a flawed piece.
Fair enough. Just because he filled it with nonsense in the Hobbit before doesn’t mean he won’t learn from his mistakes.
Didn’t the hobbit already fuck that up?
Aren’t they very different stories?
