Would you like to see PJ or someone else try the Silmarillion and 'The Hobbit' ?

I would love to see The Hobbit as a movie! Not only could they make a ton of money from it, it would help non-Tolkienites understand st least a little background for The Lord of the Rings. And Smaug! *faints*<P>*gets back up * Even though I haven't read the Silmarillion (yet!), I definitely say no to a movie on it. We Tolkienites would be way more disappointed with the turn out than some of us are with The Lord of the Rings! Many of the people going to see the movie would definitely not understand most of the story, and I think it would be very hard to show certain things, such as the creation of the world out of nothing using song. The Silmarillion seems to be more of an imagination book than a movie book, if you understand my meaning. If they did try to make it (which I doubt), there is a very good chance it will be a flop.<P>Summary: <BR>The Hobbit, YES!<BR>The Silmarillion, NO WAY!
