      14 hours is way way way too long of a movie. Multiple movies or a series makes much more sense.

      But yeah, that would be really cool.

        Oh absolutely, no one will sit through an actual movie that long. A series of some would be the way to go for sure.

      silmarillion is tv series material. every episode a mythic story, with some two-parters.

      As an aside I found it surprisingly readable and I’m not a huge LotR fan. Maybe I just like short story anthologies.

        I thought it was pretty terrible tbh, and I read history books for fun. I think that was my problem with it tbh, I just kept looking at the timelines and going “no, bullshit, the kingdom would have been bankrupted by a five hundred year war, and how tf are elves replacing their combat losses?”
