Could (Should) the Simarillion become a film?

[aleesa]

I would agree with the Saucepan Man. It would be quite hard to find investors that would fork out a lot of money to make the Sil like New Line did for Lotr. If, for instance any investors would agree with the suggestions to make several movies for the Sil, it would cost a lot of money to produce the same effects similar to LotR. I mean, audience would complain if the Sil didn't live to the same standards as LotR. They wouldn't want simple (low budget) sfx, would they? Like the Saucepan Man said, it would not do the Sil justice. <BR>The investors would of course, expect a high return and that is not easy to promise since it would depend on the interest people still have after LotR. As in the case of Star Wars: Episode 4, 5 & 6, people love it & yet Episode 1 & 2 didn't actually achieve or equal the same success. <BR>Sorry, if you don't understand what I'm saying. Still recovering from migraine...
