No no no, not directed by him.
>>63180991
He will let his daughter direct it :^)
>>63181003
nah, they'll hire based JJ Abrams to do it
>>63180982
It is a joke.
is that lorde?
Dont worry guys, just ignore it. We will always have the book. No one can can take that away.
How old is that girl?
>>63180982
As a Kiwi, fuck Peter Jackson.
An AAA+ sellout.
King Kong should have been his last movie.
He's lost the plot.
>>63181058
This.
Probably a poke at Chris.
I would definetly a frog-fu jackson
>>63180982
I'm okay with this, assuming he takes as much time to prepare as he did with LoTR. I wouldn't even mind if he stretched it to 3 movies, the book definitely has enough content.
>>63181199
Looks 18 to me
>>63180991
what?!
That youtube popping up every day explains the Hobbit's awfulness
If he does Silmarillion, he'll have however long he wants in preproduction, and thats all he needs
>>63181402
>If he does Silmarillion, he'll have however long he wants in preproduction, and thats all he needs
Lol.
Maybe you should read the books. He's not capable of doing an adaptation, the LOTR movies ARE NOT CANON.
>he has FOUR notes in the entire Silmarillion
>>63181438
Have YOU read the book? If he covered less than a third of what's written in the book it'll rival the LoTR, if not best it, in fantasy/action awesomeness
>>63181479
>action awesomeness
So no, you haven't read the books.
>>63180982
HYPE!
>>63181454
The rest of it will be OC like Lickspittle and Taurian. It's gonna be great
>>63181454
>Jackson realised rather than noting the parts he will use in his adaptation, he would note the parts not to use in his 20 hour Silmarillion TV Series.
>>63180982
h-his daughter looks nice
>>63180982
Judging by the foot notes and thier location it looks like he's skipped the whole of the first age and started of at akallabeth.
Sauron going ape shit...He Could pull it off
>>63181487
I fully understand that Tolkien's LoTR trilogy isn't about action, but the movie adaptations definitely are, and they do it well. The Silmarillion, on the other hand, has tons of awesome action-y parts that would translate well to a Peter Jackson-esque adaptation
>>63181540
So why not just make another stand-alone fantasy? Why does he have to ride the coat tails of a successful author long dead?
Fuck off.
>>63181454
4 movies confirmed
>>63181438
Of course they are not fucking canon, the movies are an adaptation.
Have you ever heard about it? Adaptations and interpretations of source material? A fucking thing that is going on in culture and art for thousand of years!?
>>63181549
Are you saying you don't want to see Fëanor fight off a swarm of Balrogs singlehandedly? You probably don't want to see Morgoth get BTFO by a pissed-off Elf-King either, right?
If you don't want to see all that cool shit then don't watch it, but I'm on board.
>>63181575
An adaptation is just that. Taking one medium and turning it into another.
>Hurr durr you can't make it like the books because reasons!
That's not an excuse, that's a cop out.
>rise of numenor
>fall of numenor
>return of sauron and the making of the rings
Comfy trilogy in the making

>Are you saying you don't want to see Fëanor fight off a swarm of Balrogs singlehandedly? You probably don't want to see Morgoth get BTFO by a pissed-off Elf-King either, right?
I have seen it though.
>If you don't want to see all that cool shit then don't watch it, but I'm on board.
You're literally a pleb.
>>63181454
Those are the four parts that will make it into his films.

Looks like the EIDF are out in force spreading thier propaganda
Whats this taken from?
>>63181644
>"manlet elf"
Morgoth only accepted the challenge cause he didn't want to look like a bitch in front of his bros. He left that fight limping like a pussy for all eternity
>>63181631
it could be the biggest clusterfuck of all time, but as long as it has a wide view of Gondolin as they leave the pass, I don't fucking care
>>63181688

Getting cheap blows in isn't what I call "getting btfo"

Who would you cast as Feanor bros?
I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU JACKSON PLEASE DONT FUCK THIS UP
JUST
>>63182050
you watched King Kong and all three Hobbit movies and still have faith in him? Why? HOW?
>>63180982
I wouldn't mind.
They've gone this far, might aswell do the full run. Even though the Tolkien estate fucking hates Jackson.
>>63180982
When did Jackson get so fucking old?
Rather than doing the whole Silmarillion, I'd assume he'll do three connected parts.
It's not like it's a single story. It's a compendium of various legends, starting with the creation of the world.

Tbh senpai, Desolation was only mediocre so Battle is the only bad one he made yet.

If not I'll be interested in meeting her for marriage proposal.
If that's ok for his pappa.
>>63182312
This 2bh Unexpected Journey was good and Desolation was ok. He shat the bed on five armies
PETER PLEASE DON'T DO IT THE WORLD WILL CRUMBLE IF YOU EVER TRY TO SPOIL AND CONTAMINATE THE BEAUTIFUL WORK OF TOLKIEN.
FUCK OFF AND NEVER COME BACK
>>63182374
It was on twitter or instagram, it's a video about him directing an episode for doctor who of all things.

STOP
THIS SACRILEGE MUST END
>>63182396
The desolation of Smaug was easily worse and more butchered than BoFA. UJ is not much better than mediocre Tbh

>>63182439
It's your opinion guy and your welcome to it but you must be loopy if you think Desolation was just as bad as armies
>>63180982
With those bookmarks it looks like hes read up to just after feanor dieing
>>63182499
it was worse m8
>>63182480
At least he didnt fuck up LOTR in the same way, ROTK was borline Jacksonfied but Fellowship and to some extend Towers were great adaptations
peter jackson could easily make one hundred new hobbit movies with the silmarillions appendices
>>63182439
UJ is pretty comfy desu. It drops in quality when they fight the Orcs under the mountain and Azog felt somewhat out of place but overall it's a movie I can sit down and watch if I feel like it.
Can't say the same about Desolation of Battle. Although Battle is by far far the worse one out of the two.
>>63182517
RotK was the best one though
>>63182480
Smaug was great in every scene he was in (bar the retarded chase scene) bilbo and smaug alone made Desolation more than watchable
>>63182516
Now you're just being retarded
>>63182517
Have you read RotK? Because at halfway point it also becomes incredibly sub-par as Tolkien son pieced it together from the old man's notes and shit.
>>63182439
BoFA has no right to exist. It just one huge over the top battle with barely any redeeming qualities other than the spectacle.
The only thing BoFA did right was Thorin's fall to insanity, everything else was done poorly.
Desolation has at least some interesting bits like Gandalf investigating, Smaug talking to Bilbo and Bilbo at least was still the main character in this one.
>>63182547
At no point through the 2nd "film" could you enjoy it without some retarded hackson invention popping up every 2nd scene
>Fuck up beorn
>add in legolas for 30 minutes
>add in stupid lpve subplot
>barrel scene
>annoying master bullshit
>orcs attack laketown
>Tauriel saves laketown
>not all the dwarves even go to the mountain
The 2nd film only made me upset by how dissapointingly shit it was so by the time I sat and watched the 3rd I literally had no good expectations and enjoyed it more
HOW

W
>>63182639
fanwank lad
>>63182618
Your frame of mind doesn't account for the quality of the film though.
Dos had better scenes, character interaction, cinematography and atmosphere than bofa ergo it's a better film.
>>63181358
No way hozay. shes at most a 16 piece
>>63182606
Yes, weakest of the trilogy for sure.
But thats nothing to do with how Jackson portrayed it. He threw in CGI into every single fucking shot,
If you had told me Rick McCallum was involved in ROTK I wouldnt have been surprised in the slightest.
>>63182639
Umm... That's wrong though
>>63182606
No he didn't. JRR wrote the whole thing.
>>63182651
>hozay
you moran
Fuck Peter Jackson, the hero worshipping cunt. If he adapted the that book it would be a 3 part husbando fanfic about how feanor is amazing and perfect and so tragic but gloss over all the evil shit he did like raid the eleven settlement ruled by his cousins because he wanted their boats. Then in the end, instead of being killed by the leader of balrogs, feanor challenges and beats Morgoth in single combat, wins, and lives happily ever after. Fuck all that.
>>63182792
No way is anyone retarded enough to think they can get away with that shit.
>>63182606
>things that never happened.jpg
I hope he won't do it. Not because I don't trust him with the project but because I don't want LotR to turn into Star Wars or Capeshit with a new movie every year.
>>63182820Alfrid.RadagastLegolas in the Hobbit
>>63182820
And then feanor realizes the error of his ways when he seals Morgoth in the silmarils and they lose their beauty and power. Instead of dying a bitter old man who curses his own family to suffer a similar fate forever, he lives happily in the undying lands.
Tolkien Cinematic Universe
20 movies from the Silmarillion+Unfinished Tales
Plan from 2018-2035
It's gonna be great
>>63182792
But without the tragic shit he did, why would anyone think of him as a tragic figure?
>>63181595
I'm not sure how well that would translate to the big screen. The shit that happens in the book would look almost comical if done wrong and hell, I'm not even sure there is right way.
>>63181856
Fingolfin had fucking black hair, yet every picture showing this scene has him with blond hair.

It's gonna be great.
>>63181549
>So why not just make another stand-alone fantasy?
Because every bit of original dialogue he added to these movies wasn't worth to be in a Steven Seagal movie. If you remove all the Tolkien stuff out of LOTR and Hobbit movies you are left with a bunch of shitty one-liners and faggots defying gravity.
>>63180982
no no no no no nonono no
After he fucked the hobbit so badly, God please no.
>>63182639
no way Glaurung was that big. How in the fuck would Turin slay him with a stab that barely penetrates his sking if he were that size
>>63182423
WTF nigger is actually marking Silmarillion to fuck up? Does he actually think The Hobbit is good?
>>63184379
Its pretty clear its a joke. Like him polishing is oscars.
>>63180982
>admits to phoning in the Hobbit
>thinks about doing silmarillion
dare.
double-dare.
triple-dare, motherfucker.
>>63184449
So you know full well on the issues of the Hobbit that he only got involved way too late in preproduction and had to stick to release dates, and you think because of that hes shit?
youre an idiot. The video, which you've obviously watched, explains it all even down to the poor cgi and lack of SFX
>>63180982
>won 3 Oscars
>has 4 Oscars
Did he steal one?

>>63184514
They filmed it well, scored it, edited it. The problem is all that extra bullshit. You don't need any 'extra time' to know now to cut that.
>>63184862
What is he thinking there?
>>63184976
hes actually thinking what the next scene hes shooting will be about
>>63182423
I love peter capaldi
Do you think he'll film his doctor who episode with gopros?
>>63181024
Oh boy, get ready for a nigger Turin then.
>shorshe as luthien
>>63182396
Desolation was OK? Are you fucking kidding me? Desolation was so bad that I quit the franchise. I havent even seen Five Armies because Smaug was so fucking awful I couldn't bear to see another one like it. And Unexpected Journey was barely passable.
How many fucking movies you'd need to fit in all the stuff that's present in the book. At the very least 4 movies with 3+ hours of screentime. It's insanely dense, also
>good luck adapting all those poems
It's like making a movie about the Nordic Sagas or the Bible, there's too much stuff in there.
>>63185150
Impossible, virtually every creation does eventually go into public domain thanks to copyright laws, unless it's an actual physical thing like a painting.
>>63180982
Please no.
It's well outside his breadth, he would fucking ruin it.
I honestly don't think the Silmarillion/Valaquenta is even capable of being done outside of a billion dollar pentalogy with a ten year production and several years of preproduction.
I really, really hope that the Sil remains untouched forever, just like The Dark Tower, because it WILL be fucked up by anyone who didn't enter the film industry with both talent and the intent to do that project specifically
>>63185459
>The Dark Tower
yes but theres no point adapting something already shit
>>63184799
Why do you have a problem with his girth anon?

If you didn't enjoy the Dark Tower then you didn't read much more than a book or two. Or you're simply an intellectual plebeian, but if that were the case you wouldn't have been able to get through much of the Silmarillion without dozing off.
>>63185459
>I honestly don't think the Silmarillion/Valaquenta is even capable of being done outside of a billion dollar pentalogy with a ten year production and several years of preproduction.
Fucking this. And as little reliance on CGI as is possible. CGI was the second worst thing in the Hobbit, after superfluous made up characters.
>>63180982
I still trust him more than most to do it right
>>63180982
Post more of this qt please
>>63180982
Where is this from?
Tolkien is based because he is Beren, and his wife is Luthien. Tolkien did not write explicitly about his time in the war and base his whole world on it.
Tolkien's opinion on WWI is found in The Silmarillion, chapter 19, 'Of Beren and Luthien' specifically his coming to Doriath through Ered Gorgoroth.
Let it not be said that Beren in his love retrieved a Silmaril from the crown of a sleeping Morgoth and established finally established himself with Luthien in Ossiriand and though she died early whilst wearing both the Nauglamír and Silmaril.
Still, to give up a happy eternity to be with your love, despite the unknown, is illuminating.
I think he will rather kill himself than touching anythign Tolkien related ever again.
Not because he doesnt like it but because the studio will give him hell.

>>63182651
Why are sixteen-year-olds so sexy?

I originally thought that with more time, that he definitely didn't have with the Hobbit, he might make something as good as LOTR
but it just won't happen in ~2020 or whenever this could hypothetically come out
please do not let it happen.
