This might be something more for the book forum, but isn't Dagor Dagorath the story of the apocalypse, that is it hasn't happened yet?<P>Most people feel that Middle Earth represents our world in some dim and forgotten past. In Dagor Dagorath, Manwe and Melkor will battle and the world will be unmade. As far as I know the world is still here.<P>That means the story needs to be set in the future or, perhaps more interestingly, in the present day. Any writer would have pretty much carte blanche to what the hell they like, but hasn't there been enough apocalypse movies out there?<P>H.C.
