Silmarillion [In reply to] Can't Post

I do not know where I heard or read it first, but a showtime or HBO series of the Quenta Silmarillion is something I'd love to see and probably the best venue to bring this to life. The individual tales cover so much that each individual story would need a trilogy to flush out. A several season show with each season dedicated to a chapter or specific chapters of the Quenta Silmarillion could be great. This of course comes with the caveat or the rights of the works, the Tolkien estate, as well as the necessity of a trusted team of writers to flush out story lines and dialogue that Tolkien did not provide.

The reason I saw HBO or Showtime as a likely venue is because these services have the budget for something like this and the stomach for the content that would be in a Silmarillion series.

Faramir: “I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.”
