Shut the fuck up

The one where they walk through the woods, across a mountain and then have a fight

Have you read Silmarillion? It’s unadaptable, maybe you can take bits of stories in it but it would be like trying to turn bible into a movie

Okay you know what, the Silmarillion sucks. It's notes. I love LotR, I love the Hobbit, but fuck me, this book is just not fit for consumption. I'm sure they were important in writing his real books, but J R R Tolkien's notes do not get my knobbin throbbin

Tell me more.

Kill your self

The Blue Wizards.
Unironically, this would be a good idea.
>Nothing is known about them except for the fact that they went East towards the Eastern lands while Sarumon, Gandalf and Radagast went West.
>this allows Amazon to make their own OC since nothing is known about them
>gives the opportunity to look at new lands and expand the world of Lotr. Maybe showing what the fantasy middle east looks like.
>The silmarillion hints at one or both of them turning evil which allows drama.
>since this takes place in a separate place and new characters, it won't mess with the pre-established Canon like in RoP.
>Plus they achieve their racial quota by taking place in the Tolkien Middle East

Impossible now. RoP wrecks the timeline and lore presented in Silmarillion. They couldn't make it without ruining the new continuity.

This guy is a huge faggot. The whole point of the blue wizards is that we know nothing about them.

The Silmarillion isn't notes, though. You're possibly confusing it with Unfinished Tales and the notes in that, which makes me think you've not read either book and are just repeating incorrectly what someone else has said, like a useless parrot.

I actually agree. I'd like if they did something with the Blue Wizards but a Mesopotamian feel. Potential for cults to form, and for the were-worms to be brought in as well. Dune + Lovecraft + Gilgamesh.

Unironically, I'd like if they did a story set in the far south, with a bunch of black tribes trying to survive in a world where the monsters of Morgoth (that were wiped out in the more important areas of the stories) are still wandering around. If they can promise to never put non-whites in the rest of the primary stories, I'm more than happy to give them some non-white only peripheral stories.

All of it. In one 90 minute long movie.

But we already have Mesopotamian middle earth coming next week

What a fucking disaster

You might, but I'm not watching this trash.

Where is this supposed to be? If it's Numenor, it's excusable because it's supposed to be Atlantis, and it gives an appropriately ancient, mystical aesthetic.

I was thinking it would be more like Arabian Nights. Allows an opportunity to see Middle Eastern and African magic in the Tolkien universe.

Since the Hobbits, elves and dwarves were born and lived in the North West quadrant of Middle Earth, what lies in the South-East is a complete mystery. Might introduce new races too.

There can also be a mystery with the Cult of Sauron as they try to stop it (only for them to be corrupted by Sauron too like what happened with Sarumon).

>Arabian Nights
You could do. Personally, I prefer Mesopotamian mythology over Arabic.

>Might introduce new races too.
Definitely not. Tolkien was very clear in the mythology that only three races existed; men (which included Hobbits and Beorn's folk), elves, and dwarves (which Aule made but Eru gave true life as a gift). Even ents weren't considered a true race, merely guardians of the forest created for Yavanna by Eru to oppose the dwarves.

>there can also be a mystery with the Cult of Sauron
A cult of Sauron is fine, but it would be more interesting for a separate cult devoted to the Blue Wizards to emerge in opposition. Religious fueds are part and parcel of the Middle-east.

>The Hagia Sofia Byzantine Christian cathedral
>But with an enormous minaret to placate the muslims who turned the Hagia Sofia into a mosque

Gotta tick those boxes.

They couldn't affort the rights to say hobbit, how will they pay for the Silmarillion?
