Would you like to see a film adaptation of The Silmarillion? If so, would you prefer a new, extensive anthology of films, or a series similar to Game of Thrones?
Ever since I read The Silmarillion, I’ve constantly longed for an adaptation of the work—it would be perfect. If it were a film anthology, it couldn’t be a trilogy, like The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, but rather separate films based on certain tales (such as a film for Beren and Lúthien, or a series for Túrin), and a very long trilogy for the main storylines of the Quenta Silmarillion (such as The Great Journey, the flight and arrival of the Noldor, the War of Wrath, etc.), where each film would be truly long, lasting four to five hours. It would be a dream come true. It would be truly breathtaking to see Fëanor, Fingolfin, Morgoth, Ancalagon, Gondolin, and others brought to life on the big screen! Or we also have the option of a series, which resembles Game of Thrones in some ways, but a very long one, of course. If it were a series, I’d have lower expectations and would be a little apprehensive, since series tend to either drag out events too much or condense them in a way that they no longer reflect how they actually were! Well, what do you think?
