This one on the other hand is easy. The Silmarillion. In a "they mustn't ever do it" way, that is, not in the "I wouldn't watch it if they made it" way.


They could do tales from it, just not film it as a complete work at all. The Children of Húrin would be an obvious choice for a film from it.

After finishing a book I never really think "gosh that would make a good film" Mark - 04/06/2010 01:35:19 PM 900 Views

Luhrman largely stuck to Shakespeare's dialogue, though... and that worked amazingly well imho. *NM* Legolas - 05/06/2010 04:25:08 PM 403 Views
