Nothing left to wait for? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'd prefer later to sooner.

I suppose the 'Downs will lose a few of the movie fans, but most of those that are still here are very much fans of the books as well by now, so the majority of them will stick around.

I would expect the Movies forum to make it's way down the page unless "The Hobbit" deal is formalized and announced soon enough to keep it popular. (by soon, I mean a couple of years.) That's just my guess though.

Nimmy, you've scared me!! I don't want to think about it.... Oh... dear me. I lost track. Today was the day, wasn't it? Ah, well, just because I don't have the money for the EE........

If the 'Downs does eventually pass away, there's always my forum: http://fantasyinsanity.proboards38.com

Yes, that was a shameless plug.

There are other possibilities for movies, that I'm surprised no one in
Hollywood has apparently hit on yet. Given the popularity and $$$
making of some children's films, why not movies (live, animated, or
perhaps the process used in "The Polar Express") for Roverandom and
The Father Christmas Letters. This would also make for a sort of piggybacking
on the popularity of LOTR films and would make for an interesting holiday
movie.

Hey, now, there's an idea! Now why didn't I think of that?...

There is also Ancanar, which is not Tolkien, but has a definite Tolkien flavor to it.

I would not be too surprised to see an attempt to make a movie out of the Sil, or at least part of the Sil.

However, I'm not sure it would be worth watching.
