[The Saucepan Man]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> one Love Conquers All version which is sliced to ribbons for television viewing, which is disowned by the director, and becomes an unintentional comedy classic. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>They did that to "Brazil"? Shame on them. I must make sure to avoid it.<P>I can't see the Silm as a whole being brought to the screen. Too many characters, too many plots. And most of the individual tales are just too dark for mass film audiences. My personal favourite is the tale of Turin Turambar, but that is certainly too dark, incest or no incest.<P>The only tale with any prospect of making anything other than a (low budget) cult film is, as others have said, that of Luthien and Beren. Perhaps they could get Hugo Weaving to play Thingol, as that was essentially his character in the LotR films.
