Sorry they're so long, I don't know how to shorten them like other people.

Thanks Alasse!
I am looking forward to seeing what they do with it.

You mean like this?
1) Copy link address
2) Highlight the word(s) in your message you'd like to link
3) Click on the "Insert Link" button above the box you're writing your post in (looks like a little blue globe with a chain link)
4) a little box pops up, paste your link address there, click "OK"
Done!


OT: Whatever they choose to treat, what I mostly would like to see is respect for the source.

Yes, that! Thank you!

So on the one hand, I think the biggest movie potential is Middle-earth: The Fall of Kings - the fall of Arthedain and the severing of the line of kings in Gondor. I plotted the whole thing out once, but it's lost in a badly-tagged Livejournal, so I have to go on memory. The first part is a political love triangle - Prince Arvedui of Arthedain, Firiel princess of Gondor, and Earnil the Gondorian general. It all leads into the Disaster of the Morannon, the death of the Gondorian royal family and Arvedui's attempt to claim the throne.

The second part is the fall of Arthedain, which has great name recognition potential: there are canonically Hobbits at Fornost, the enemy is the Witch-King, Elrond is in play, and Gandalf is present in Middle-earth to use. This part ends with Arvedui's death, and Earnil's defeat of Angmar, probably intercut. Then the third part is the Gondorian coda: first Earnil, then his son riding to face the Witch-King in Morgul Vale and never returning. Quite where you split the three up I'm not sure about, but seriously, if WarnArda takes off I'd be surprised if they didn't do it.

On the other hand, what I most want to see is them taking advantage of the fact that they have the rights to the Shire. Stuff High Fantasy - I want a movie about Belladonna Took going on Hobbit-scale adventures. Call it Remarkable. You can even tie it back to Fall of Kings, by sending her up to the ruins of King's Norbury.

I really like the idea of The Fall of Kings! It would great to see something like that done properly.

And I agree, there are so many "little things" they could explore, such as Belladonna Took.

[Formendacil]

Forget those fairy-blooded Took miscreants who go wandering off to Norbury and foreign parts! I want a full-blown intra-Shire drama (like Downton Abbey with lower ceilings and more eating)--give me a prestige mini-series about the death of Lalia the Fat!

[Alassë Estel]

Now there's an idea!
