Maybe a cartoon, or anime style... Or even a Toy Story style animation

It would need a massive funding for all the CGI and sets, etc. I think it would work well in a tasteful anime film...

I think the only way to do the Silmarillion would be to break the contents of the book up into different stories and make them into episodes/ films.
I for one would quite happily walk into a cinema to watch the Tale of Turin or the story of Beren and Luthien. there are so many storyies involved hwever it would have to be a trillogy type.

Oh and JRKIV, you are the Tolkien expert! I still have a hard time remembering all the stuff in the Silmarillion. I am quite impressed with your knowledge.
man, I agree, but I know that much of the Silmarillion too! I am reading it for the second time now, and I want to know everything bout it! Anyway, they musn't try to make a movie of The Silmarillion. It is impossible to make it like it is in my mind, and I am sure they will blow the whole book. They can't set the Valar on screen.
That's right, when I'm 75 and they finally make a Simarillian movie, I'm totally gonna put on my virtual reality glasses and find Inreview.com and laugh at you in a 50 year old thread! And you know what? If you don't face me face-to-face you're a coward.
