Upcoming Middle Earth film? – Possible theorised scripts

<< < (2/9) > >>

I couldnt agree more, the timeline indeed will pose the biggest problem of them all i guess, and probably a trilogy might not be sufficient, i would even say a saga won't be enough, maybe they might do better, if it were to be turner into a serie, that way they could cover alot, although i doubt it will still have the same charm as the LOTR trilogy had.

 And thanks about informing me of the spoiler thing  ;)

Walküre:
You know, I never really liked the idea of a serie, because, as you wrote, it would diminish a lot the characteristic epic momentum and element of great films/trilogies like LOTR or the Hobbit.

A trilogy might be sufficient – more than three hours per film though – or a saga of 4/5 films too.
The key point is exactly how to manage to deal with all these years rich of extraordinary things with innovative ideas and techniques (flashbacks, flashforwards, beginning in medias res, gaps among periods,...).

Even though, I have to say that the computation of time and pretty methodical division of events in the whole War of the Jewels might indeed be proven as a very useful property.
It could be easier organising a plot around the Battles of Beleriand, the specific dates and the birth and fall of the kingdoms in the actual story.

Therefore, I believe the person who will be able to achieve said things will definitely be worthy of an Oscar or more than one.
I often make some attempts in my mind about it, but, for now, I don't really have the time to get involved in such director-like matters  :P

Who knows, maybe in the future...

I never knew you had dealings with directing Mr. Walkure hahaha  xD xD

It's just my mind wandering through unexplored spaces of imagination  xD

By the way, aminetude and people who are interested, I think we could play a bit, just for our amusement, by creating a script and plot structure for a hypothetical Silmarillion trilogy/saga  :)

I had thought about three films, each having different titles, but all having the name Silmarillion as the saga/trilogy title; as Lord of the Rings is for the three chapters of the LOTR trilogy.

That's an interesting idea !
You know, i myself always try to re-imagine the dol'guldur fight scene, wich will properly respect the lore, i was hoping to see the three rings more involved since we were promised that this particular scene was extremely beautifull, but unfortunetly it didnt add much material, i mean we didnt even see the strongest of the three, vilya ! I always try to think of Saruman the white using his light powers, since in the book it was by his devices that sauron was driven out of Dol'guldur, it wasnt explained if there was a fight or not, but logically why Sauron would place himself near the presence of the white council, unless he is very prepared for them, i actually think Sauron may intially had taken dol'guldur to draw the white council to him, and slaughter them. Also Galadriel in her dark form was cool, but not very lore accurate, i dont mean i didnt like her, but we know galadriel can take the dark side only if the ring was given to her, and she accepts it, but anyway i could think she was a powerful witch, and she could a lot of magic. The thing that pains me most, is we didnt see much of the lady of light, i mean she is called the white lady, lady of light... These names bind her to the light and good in the world, i actually think the battle should have gone this way ( note that i won't say galadriel will heal gandalf, since in the book he already was strong and helped them fight against the Necromencer):

The white council arrives, they find sauron waiting with his nazgul, and maybe orcs, or guldur' guards ( i imagine them exactly as they look in ET ), they all fight, and sauron lets his servants divide the white council's forces,  he heads for galadriel, but her friends know she is strong, but even stronger as a healer, saruman or elrond would stand and defend her from sauron. Sauron does some foul magic that weakens them all, Galadriel tries to heal them, but she is weakened too and forced to use nenya, sauron then knows she got the ring of adamant, he uses his control over the rings of power, only to be stopped by the wielders of Vilya and Narya, he then says a fancy line : "i am the lord of the rings, and what is mine i shall have !", he then uses their rings against them, they are all weak and fall into the ground. Sauron comes near to galadriel trying to behead her, saruman then comes and show his power of the istari, and his blessing of the valar, sending all the nazgul into hiding , and making Sauron crawl back into the darkness, Elrond asks what happens, Galadriel says: it is Saruman unleashed ( like the Isengard unleashed thing from Lotr TT), the ring bearers stand and with THE HELP ( DEVICE ) of Saruman they banish  Sauron. THE END !
HAHA this is just but a tought, i think of many possible scenarios, i just got this one in my head right now  :D
PS: this is an interesting thread, do you think we should create another appropriate post for it ?
