I think Narn i Chin Húrin would be easier to make than Beren & Lúthien because in the Unfinished Tales version, it has a lot of detail and considerably more dialogue than any of the tales in the Silmarillion. I don't see what's wrong with 'dark' movies- don't people want something other than the predictable ending of the typical fantasy movie, with the hero coming up with some cunning plot to rescue the damsel in distress?<p>[ 3:07 PM January 03, 2004: Message edited by: nobody ]
