If Jackson made "The Silmarillion the Movie"
This is just to post your ideas on what jackson woudl change and how he would make The Silmarillion into an action movie.
I saw this in the Sil Forum posted by BB concerning Jackson making a Silmarillion movie - Quote:
For instance this is something quick I came up with while I was talking with someone. ... Luthien is carried off by a dragon and Beren fights to save her. He single handedly kills the beast and wins Luthien's hand in marriage. I have to admit - I had a lot of mockery stuff that I decided to take out. Like "it shows the love between Luthien and Beren beautifully". "Jackson did an awesome job and showed their love in the only way possible in the allotted time" Okay - so I decided to add the mockery back in. How would Jackon portray the creation of the world? etc. What outrageous things would he come up with to spice up the movie and make it more action oriented.

If it's all the same with you, I'd rather not think about it. Hows about I put my LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA cap on?
Tho' I will say this: I can't see him doing the Music of the Ainur, can you? Gods, he make 'em all giants with tin-foil bits hanging off them, or something. Argh, can you imagine the fight between Tulkas, and Morgoth?? I bet it would be like when Saruman and Gandalf fought it out... Nononono, I can't think about this! Must stop! Aaaaaarrrrrgh! *runs from thread* |

How 'bout we divide the LOTR movie section into the "Bashing Jackson Forum" and the "Non-bashing Jackson Forum"?? |

This can be a very interesting thread - people can relate the scenes as they were in the book or make changes like Jackson made in LotR. I'm just asking how Jackson would do the movie. BB seems to think that Jackson is the only one who can produce them. I want people's ideas on what they think Jackson would do.

There is absolutely no way the Silmarillion can fit into a movie. It'd have to be made into a TV series.

PJ is a jerk and should be shot for his anhilation of LOTR.
If he does do Sil, it will most definitely be a "pimped out" version. immunity, reward challanges, and "the tribe that spoke (n)"

Then I'd rather see Angelina Jolie as was proposed in the Silmarillion-forum. At least she had the right hair-colour....

ok im jumping ship at the thought of anyone doing the silmarillion, nevermind PJ, i think that no one could pull of a good movie out of the sil. I dont get the Pamela Anderson joke, i think that the casting for LotR was great now i think it would be more likely for PJ to cast himself in a lead role (just like Bad Taste ) although he is cool id hope to god he doesnt meddle in the Sil...
Quote:
"Say this to Manwe Sulimo, High King of Arda: if Feanor cannot Morgoth he delays not to assail him, and sits not idle in grief. And it may be that Eru has set in me a fire greater than thou knowest. Such hurt at the least will i do to the Foe of the Valar that even the mighty in the Ring of Doom shall wonder to hear it. Yea, in the end they shall follow me. Farewell!" no living actor could deliver that speach and it is such a classic part in the Silmarillion that i would be heart broken if it was omitted...

Most of the casting was good, however Haldir sucked, Merry and Pippin sucked, Arwen sucked, Galadriel sucked, Elrond sucked. (in my opinion). Why was Liv Tyler in the movie - did her father donate a bunch of money to the film? I just don't think she's very pretty - let alone beautiful enough to play Arwen who was supposed to resemble Luthien.

ummm Haldir i initially didnt like him now i do, Merry, Pippin and Arwen were good choices and i had my doubts about Elrond, not very elvish but he's grown on me... Cate Blanchett was perfect...
i do think Liv Tyler was as close as they were gunna get for Arwen... either way i dont think many of the characters of the Silmarillion could be portrayed in film so it doesnt really matter

I liked most on the cast for LOTR
Anywho, about the Silmarillion: *steams* NO WAY PJ can make that into a movie! I'd like to see him try...... actually no, I don't want to see him try. I don't even want to think about how........and I'm not even going to coment on what BB said, because *steams* I might say something I'll regret *walks quietly from room*

Because this is about The Silmarillion, and not about the LotR movies, it really belongs in the Silm forum. I'm going to move it there, but SGH, if you think it doesn't belong there either, go ahead and move it back if you want to.

I think anyone that made the Sil would need 9 movies at least to do it.
Now as for what they would change to that i dont really know i would imgin the battles would be a big Focal point (hell we would all love to see some of these battles) However the Sil is not a realistic movie franchise IMHO simply because its just not like LOTR. The major players are themselves increadbly powerfull being of much might and strength which to be honest just dont make for as good a movies as a poor little hobbit taking on the world
