You are given the ability to cast a producer and director for Tolkien’s legendary Silmarillion. Who do you choose and why? Also are there even any directors, studios or writers who could give this book the love it needs to be a featured film or tv show? In our modern society, can Tolkien’s motifs be told without taint? Here is a part in the early stages of the book. The scene is set with Fingolfin, lord of the Noldor, seeking vengeance and fury against the black enemy. He rides swiftly through his own ranks, and the decimation that has befallen his kin.
In that vast shadow once of yore Fingolfin stood: his shield he bore with field of heaven's blue and star of crystal shining pale afar. In overmastering wrath and hate desperate he smote upon that gate, the Gnomish 1 king, there standing lone, while endless fortresses of stone engulfed the thin clear ringing keen of silver horn on baldric green. His hopeless challenge dauntless cried Fingolfin there: 'Come, open wide, dark king, your ghastly brazen doors! Come forth, whom earth and heaven abhors! Come forth, O monstrous craven lord, and fight with thine own hand and sword, thou wielder of hosts of banded thralls, thou tyrant leaguered with strong walls, thou foe of Gods and elvish race! I wait thee here. Come! Show thy face!'
multiple directors for it is a tv show not a single movie. we will use all manner of interesting techniques to tell the story including shadow puppetry, noh theatre, hand drawn animation and CGI. the showrunner will of course be me.

Typical vappa
Gabriel Wright
That black kid from disney wars. He directs and all the elves are black.
Unfilmable. Could only be animated and would need to be at least 36 hour long episodes.
Luke Hill
I haven't even read any of them but I think this is a good idea. Lord of The Rings would have been better if it had time to focus on the smaller moments, and the way the Hobbit handled this by making three long and super serious movies was retarded. Each book should be a mini series.
Angel Wood
It is better left untainted by hollywood
Grayson Baker
How do you even cast for something of this scope?
Ethan Cooper
I don't care who. Just make sure it's a poc woman.

fingolfin is black - wesley snipes
Nicholas Jackson
i dont really know what the script would be like,its not really one cohesive narrative and it jumps around a lot between different stories and there are time skips of hundreds and even thousands of years
Blake Davis
Rian Johnson :)
Jordan Price
I'll make it an animated series and cast Genndy Tartakovsky. Dimes
Bentley Nelson
I get the original crew from the Lord of the Rings + Hobbit movies. The Hobbit could've been great if not for the studio. Peter Jackson was the one who made it actually watchable
Zachary Rodriguez
How the fuck would it even work?
I couldn't understand anything in that weird ass gay book.
Juan Moore
Its sad that he got fucked cause Del Taco up and dropped everything and he had to cobble it together on set
Charles Perry
I can get behind this.

I don't chose anyone, I return and tell them it cannot be adapted except in an animated series, and even then it'd be a monumental undertaking because of the amount of groundwork and worldbuilding you'd need to do in comparison to Tolkien's other works
Aaron Cox
Nothing in the book made any sense. It was like a weird autistic dream. "the universe began with music" um, what?
Charles Lopez
I cancel the show because some things are better left untouched.
Isaiah Stewart
I didn't know it was possible to see someone with a gormless expression on their face through the internet until you wrote this user
I'd give it to David Lynch or Peter Jackson Studio would be hard but id go with HBO since D&D will be busy ruining star wars If you really wanted you could go with an animation studio and just have A listers come in to VA the characters
Jeremiah Reyes
The silmarillion is extremely dumb. How would you even depict that in film? "at the beginning there was nothing" Um, so what? you just show a black screen and then suddenly have a weird sound that makes stuff suddenly appear and have this weird rose blossom effect or whatever?
That sounds fucking dumb as hell.
The whole book is full of stupid boring shit. "and then the seas of whatever opened up and from the depths came bla bla bla, and five men rode out from the keep of muthathahta and they had a merry time but saw a bird"
make all the male elves black make all the females white
Asher Collins
>David Lynch
ahahhahahahahahahahahahaha
"if you didn't understand the most vague movie ever made based on the most vague book ever made then I'm not going to explain it to you".
Yeah that sounds fun.

Jeff Bezos will produce because he will throw as much money as it takes to satisfy his nerd fantasy.
Director will be Yoshiaki Kawajiri (ninja scroll) because it will be animated. If its an anime then most normies will stay away and that's of the upmost importance. Naohito Takahashi (director of 1997 Berserk) would also work.
If it has to be live action though I guess I'd give it to Peter Jackson. Hobbit trilogy was disappointing but if he had the time and planning he did for LOTR it should turn out alright.

Tolkien is a hack and only dicklet virgins think otherwise
Nolan Hernandez
I make it documentary style with Sam narrating. Some parts of the film will be old school animation to contrast the difference between the Valar and middle earth. Get the LoTR cast back for all thier final moments in the series (Gimli, Legolas, and Sam going to the UL, Merry and Pip living at Gondor) and then finally the Final Battle.
Gabriel Gonzalez
Get back to writing the books George. Or eating hamburgers, whichever one you want
