Call me crazy, but I want a 14 hour epic of The Silmarillion...one movie, not a trilogy plz.
14 hours is way way way too long of a movie. Multiple movies or a series makes much more sense.
But yeah, that would be really cool.
Oh absolutely, no one will sit through an actual movie that long. A series of some would be the way to go for sure.
silmarillion is tv series material. every episode a mythic story, with some two-parters.
As an aside I found it surprisingly readable and I'm not a huge LotR fan. Maybe I just like short story anthologies.
I thought it was pretty terrible tbh, and I read history books for fun. I think that was my problem with it tbh, I just kept looking at the timelines and going "no, bullshit, the kingdom would have been bankrupted by a five hundred year war, and how tf are elves replacing their combat losses?"
Different strokes for different folks I guess
Maybe they are horny
