Looks like the "Silmarillion" might be making it to the screen after all... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

April Fool's, I should say.

But it is quite funny. 3 points for effort.

Yes, 'tis a good giggle, worth running with if Esty will move this to mirth.

I think Spielberg should be involved as well. His recent forays into historical cinema will provide a sense of ballast that The Silm/Appendices deserve.

I would hope though that any depictions of Hobbit geneologies wouldn't ressemble too closely the Ewoks.

How refreshing to see that finally someone has done something with Tolkien's reference to the banana peel in OFS. Long overdue and just amazing!

It is not yet known whether Peter Jackson will be involved.

An outrage! PJ would be perfect for this project!
