The Silmarillon would be best suited for a Prime Cable network. I don't see how it could work in a theatre release format. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

hmm, but if it's made into TV series, would battle scenes still be as epic as they should be? | |

Are you talking about the 1981 Excalibur featuring her Greatness, Dame Helen Mirren? She was a wicked witch in that 80's classic..Was Merlin a stand-out, I don't recall? | |

Yup, Helen played Morgana. https://youtu.be/KveOVJWy3Ww "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day.

I gotta watch it again...I remember Merlin being a Force of Nature but for some reason Helen's wicked character is what I remember most..Maybe it's becuz she's a Big actress. It was the first Movie I've seen that featured her from her younger days..I became a fan of her work maybe in the last 15yrs, but her work goes way back... | |

I think 'The long good Friday' was the first time I saw her as a kid. Very popular film, her & Bob killed it in that one. Somewhere around the early - mid 80's 'Excalibur' was on tv, all the kids were chatting about it the nxt day at school, Merlin was the main talking point (& the sex scene )
After that, I read whatever I could find on the Myth & Legend of Merlin, fascinating stuff Yes, watch it again!

Books - Tolkien, by miles. Films - all pretty awful. "Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge"" ~ Isaac Asimov | |
