Silmarillion the movie?? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, I think that it would be very hard to make a movie based on the Silmarillion. I don't think that anyone really wants to make a movie out of the Silmarillion. I mean, come one, can you imagine making that book into a movie script?! That is one job I certainly don't want. I have read the Silmarillion, and I would never want to be the producer for that movie. Plus, you would probally have to make MANY VERY LONG movies out of it, and besides Tolkien fans, who would want to see ALL of those movies?.
