Arwen in the movies makes me angry, since she wasn't suppose to have that big part, and the big part doesn't seem to effect anything, and it's B-O-R-I-N-G. PJ pushed Glorfindel out for her, and entered her in a scene in TTT, and I don't want to kknow what he did to her in ROTK... I think Eowyn is enough, and if Tolkien didn't write much about other females (except Shelob of course), you can't stuck characters in the movie. It ruins the movie. [edit] - about the Sil movie - I would go to see it, only from curiousity though... Also, it'll be harder to make Sil. The book might be smaller, but with much more info and scenes. (which are shorter, obviously) Last edited by Radagast The Brown : 11-06-2003 at 03:54 PM. |

I believe that even if they thought about every scene for days (months, if you wish), they made some mistakes, and the fact that they thought about it a lot don't make it up to me, at least. If I think they were wrong by adding/removing this and that scene, like in Glorfindel/Arwen, than I don't care how much time they thought about it. |

Well, in court it would be called "hearsay."

I agree 100% with Radagast. And what you are saying - you have no idea how much effort went into their decisions. Just because they say something - doesn't mean it's the truth. Actions speak louder than words and what is on the screen is NOTHING that Jackson mentioned. If you even listen to the commentary - he completely ignores the outrage against the Flight to the Ford scene but mentions how people were outraged about the flood.

Actually it was The Mummy II and it was more than just going to the press party - she was in charge of organizing it. She was in charge of the PR event.

I still think that there will be a Anime made if anything. It certainly wouldn't be american animation style, cuz then it would suck.

I think that it would be cool to have the material presented in a documentary format. Sort of like the History Channel. That way it could be a series that could delve into each chapter or issue more deeply than a 3 hr. movie ever could hope to do. (Of course this idea would never fly as there is no way it would make enough money). Just a thought/wish.

Hmm... that might be a better approach, since the Sil tells the history of ME. I might be ok with that.

The Silmarillion was never meant to be a movie, there are too many sub-plots. It could be made into a series, or smaller parts of it taken out and used seperately. I don't know what I think about either one, but I know that Peter Jackson would definetly change some things if he made any movie, TV series, or anything else of the Silmarillion. It would be interesting to see, but I don't think it would necessarily be good.

In order for the Silmarillion to be made into a film, it would first have to be a consistant narrative, which it isn't because the author died before it was finished and what was published wsa just sort of stuck together with string and glue.

The Silmarillion wouldn't be a movie; it would be a series of movies. The book is shorter than LOTR, but the story covers more ground. I would love to see it done, but I really doubt it will ever happen. The Hobbit is much more realistic.

I would like to see a director who is not so bounded by the theory of realism take on the silmarillion. I think the last two movies lost a lot of the realism as they delt with the worlds of men. I think the hardest aspect of bring the sil to life would be showing just how powerful the elves were and doing things at a much larger scale but still toliken was a genious who came up with so many things i would love to see put into film and i do think that it could be done but it would take about 9 movies to do it but i mean if i had the skills i would love to bring them to the whole world.
The Sil should be made but probably not by Jackson

I'm not sure PJ is really "bound" by realism; it was more of a choice for how he wanted the film to look. He wanted it to feel more like historical fiction. Frankly, I think it was one of the better decisions he made on the film.
If he did make the The Silmarillion (which I seriously doubt), I don't think he would necessarily try to do it the same way.
