Silmarillion Movies - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I guess the story of the Silm. would be too complex for the average "Legolas/Viggo-fan". And one movie would have to last like 240 minutes to explain the plot.
And if PJ would be the director, he would definitely screw the whole thing up.
Like Elrond dying dramatically in front of Angmar like Haldir in TTT (oops, he came up in LotR, well anyway, the people won't notice

).

Well, it looks like an incredibly interesting and cool idea. Expect me to join the boards in a few days when I have more time.

If I understand correctly, you're doing an animation. How hard would that be to do? Wouldn't you need many frames per second? That's a lot of artwork.

Anyway, when I join, I'd be glad to join in / aid scriptwriting in any way possible.

And a small note... I know you wouldn't do this wrong, I just know it, but... if there is any Quenya / Sindarin, make sure pronunciation is correct.

I'll help there, if need be.

there isn't a lot of activity on that forum though...

I know. Don't worry-it isn't dead. When hS and I are in action, others often fly into life as well. I'm just having a rest for a holiday, (though I'm finishing off Luthien too) and hS is organising his script.

If you want to help, what would be great is if you could do some concept art and post scanned images of your pics. If you're more into acting, mike yourself acting a bit of the script for your part, and post the clip (or put it on the group inbox.)

You do of course realize that not everyone has those abilities at their disposal...

Scanners and mikes? Yes, I do, as I'm one of those cavemen myself!

If you're entirely without scanning or recording tech, you could have a go at starting the Children of Hurin or War of Wrath scripts, or you could just read the Noldolante and Luthien scripts already up and comment, which is really useful as well.

I want to see a film based on the making of the Ring of Power, the Rise of Sauron and his servants, the last alliance, and the fall of mordor all in a 3/4 hour film.

Anybody else agree?
