Hmmm, CSteefe, you seem to be more succesful than this pathetic attempt

I would love to see a movie/movies based upon Silmarillion! I've always dreamed of that, but as others have said, it's close to impossible right now. But if, IF, it could be done, someone decide that money could be made and Ct gave his approval, then Turin's story would indeed make a great movie. If done the correct way.

You'll have to capture that dark feeling of ever present doom and the tragic of it all. I'm not sure the ordinary audience will be drawn to that kind of movie, not if they expect an other LotR. The fans (and there are a few of those) will of course be thrilled, but that might not be good enough for greedy film companies.

It's an advanced project, but I hope it can, and will, be done!
