It CAN'T Be Done? Or Can It?

Stanley Kubrick said that Lord of the Rings was "Unfilmable." So many unanimously say of the Silmarillion. But my arguement is this: If Stanley Kubrick one of Hollywood's most famous and remembered Directors said LOTR could not be made,then how do you explain the recent three hour magnum opus of magnificence now on screens around the world, with 13 Oscar Nominations? My word to you: Don't Trust The Critics no matter how influential,experianced or important. It IS possible to make a film...it will just take thought,courage and good sense. As a up and coming filmaker I believe it can be done. I would like to do it myself....hopefully....

It might have to be in two movies...maybe three...

Probably most will dissagree...but that is common when something hasn't been done. Awake and open now the silent gates of your hearts that song s and tales of great things may come in!

Adieu For Now.
