Hell, they could get a whole trilogy just out of Beren. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 01/01/2015 02:52:38 AM

If you take all the extant material out there, you could definitely create three movies that tell the tale of the Silmarils through the lens of those three heroes, culminating with the fall of Thangorodrim and the ruin of Ancalagon the Black, the chaining of Morgoth...it could be awesome.

  1. Upbringing as a junior forest commando with his dad, and meeting Luthien

  2. First attempt, where he gets captured by Sauron & rescued by Luthien

  3. Raid on Thangorodrim and theft of the Silmaril, including stuff like the battle between the hound and the werewolf, and their fight with the sons of Feanor.

Alternatively, they could combine 2 & 3 and make the third movie of the stuff that happened after they grabbed the Silmaril, up through the fall of Luthien's father and the recovery of the necklace from the dwarves.


They could get a whole movie out of the story of Turin (if I am remembering the name right - I refer to the guy who married his sister and killed the dragon).

I think this was a case of Jackson being forced to make them. - 12/12/2014 11:37:49 PM 1006 Views
I don't wanna come across as hating either the Hobbit or the newer SW trilogy. - 13/12/2014 10:46:42 PM 960 Views
The crap CGI was not the problem. - 14/12/2014 10:57:34 PM 816 Views
I wouldn't assume it is the last. Hollywood never lets a cash cow die. *NM* - 12/12/2014 06:13:09 PM 410 Views

You could also do one movie about the fall of Numenor. *NM* - 26/12/2014 08:44:58 PM 364 Views
Um... if YOU'RE saying this about a big-budget film - 12/12/2014 08:52:08 PM 928 Views
What's that supposed to mean? - 13/12/2014 10:50:42 PM 964 Views
Nothing insulting - you're just better at enjoying the spectacle - 14/12/2014 03:40:02 PM 929 Views
Uh-oh. So even worse than the previous two, then? - 14/12/2014 08:54:43 PM 864 Views
In the book, Bilbo is knocked out really fast and the battle is basically a few pages - 15/12/2014 08:39:56 PM 927 Views
I remember that much, yeah - 15/12/2014 09:28:56 PM 815 Views
