well hmm? we have seen what he has done with 1 and 3/4 of the Trilogy, is there someone out there more sympathetic?Perhaps let Ian McKellan produce it.And keep PJ's team [ especially Howe and Lee!]I would especcially like to see JRRT's wish of a more LotR [matured] Hobbit as opposed to a children's story.Heck you could even have Legolas leading an Elf brigade and thus guarantee success!As for the Silm, man it would be tough and would need a couple of films, you could end #1 it with men sailing off to numenor, #2 could start with the Three Rings being made and Aldarion and Erendis into the War of Elves and Sauron and then the Atalante', anding with the Last Alliance [ which of course is not the last anymore with our new Helm's Deep!] ps M. Sulimo's enthusiasm was to a much shorter post originally.[ December 19, 2002: Message edited by: lindil ]
