Silmarillion Movies

[The Only Real Estel]

That sounds great,but I think it will be to hard too make,because it is hard to put all stories (Valinor,all battles,Beren and Luthien) in only 4 movies.And if you kick something out,the movie will be confusing for those people who didn't read the book.Sorry,but i think it's too hard

But you'll never know unless you try. No doubt many people told PJ he was being ridiculous trying to shoot three movies all at once.
p.s. just though I'd bump this thread back up, since I think it's an excellent idea & I'm sure they can use all the help they can get.

Someone has already tried making or has made a film based on The First Age, and being a stupid orc I cannot recall its name. I will try and get back on this, unless someone out there knows what in Udun I am on about.

The Film facts can be found at Ancanar, apparently this film is done by Tolkien fans has been in production since 1999, lets hope it doesnt take as long as the Prof did to write it.

[Linnahiril Tinnufinwen]

I think I should like to help if I am able to (i.e., if I can fit it in along with school, drama, choir, guitar, etc.) I like to write, so perhaps I could help with story boards or something. I can also sing and act, though I have never done any voice acting before, which can be quite different from acting on stage. I've always thought that my voice is a little "unusual", or weird, but my family thinks it's fine.

Just type in the word Ancanar and see what you get, I heard about this film 3000 yrs ago

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Excuse me. Hasn't the best Siilmarillion story been overlooked here (even has a pretty much happy ending), Tuor, of course, not his cousin. (You can't do business with that hothead Turin).

I'm Maeglin on the Silmarillion Film Project, one of the two or three scriptwriters. Things are going pretty well, but, of course, it's a long long adventure...

Scripts are quite developed, with Fall of the Noldor and Lay of Luthien (mine, my own, my precious...) almost complete. However, art is still in conceptual and basic stages. Basically, any Downers fit to wield a brush/pen/pencil who want to help will be more than willingly received. You can have fun drawing your favourite bits and do us an immense favour.

We already have several esteemed Downers, of course; Saphy owns the board and the KA is in control of artists. Elennar was a vital aid to me an proofreading. Elianna has cropped up a bit. The Only Real Estel himself has dropped in. But we can always do with more active members.

If you're interested in Voice Acting or Music, we'll also be extremely pleased to see you. Hearing a few auditions and/or compositions will really liven things up. There are a couple of lists of available parts in the Voices forum.

So come and play at the Silmarillion Film Project...

See you there!

PS Tuor, your story is the major part of the War of Wrath film. Worry not...

Ancanar?

*shrugs* They put out a trailer and other publicity material a few years ago, and some sources refer to the film as if it was released at that time, but in fact the project seems to have died. There's a newish site, but unless I've missed something it's currently just a splash screen.
