If whoever decides to adapt The Simarillion to a live action format, how would you like to see it done?

the Silmarillion takes place over centuries if i remember, i don't think they could fit it into even a trilogy of movies without cutting out a lot of material.
they should probably just leave it alone & allow fans to actually read the books instead of waiting for a new movie, & never reading the book.

I think it could be made in a TV series, with a big budget, like GoT. Each episode could be one chapter/ story. They are not irrelevant with one another.

I know there's different stories, I'm just saying if someone decided to adapt it as live action how would you think it should be done. If they did it as a film I'd assume it be done as a Anthology film or An Anthology series with The Silmarillion. |

They may pick a story or two they want to do, but I don't think anybody is sitting there saying to themselves "damn if we're going to make one of these stories we have to make them all".
Honestly, I don't think they'll make any of them, and here's why. It's too disjointed. Outside of Elrond and Galadriel, there are no familiar characters

A miniseries format would be best but hell, just let Jackson round it out with more films, and I say this as someone lukewarm on them.

I've longed for a Silmarillion tv series for a couple decades now.

It would have to be a TV series. A movie wouldn't work.
Children of Hurin, on the other hand....

Preferably a TV series, as there's way too much material to fit into a movie trilogy.

And right now the Tolkien estate is completely against any kind of dramatized big budget film/TV depiction of the Silmarillion.
Imo at least, BB ;-) |
