<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>No, I don't think it should be attempted, although it may well be as they seem to be making movies of everything these days. Too many movies...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I agree. I really, really don't want to see the Silmarillion as a movie, show, or miniseries. I wouldn't trust anyone short of Tolkien himself in doing something like that. Maybe (and I stress maybe), if Christopher Tolkien had a major voice in the production, it would be a good miniseries, but it seems highly unlikely that he would want to do that (and I certainly don't blame him).Of course, that doesn't mean it's not fun to talk about possible castings. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Sean Connery strikes me as a king of Numenor.
