    Ainulindalë film project

    Hello, fellow Tolkien fans! I'm a film student from Brazil producing a project, a film based on Ainulindalë. The Silmarillion is by far my favourite Tolkien book, and when I got a assingment to make a short-film based on a literature piece, I knew that I would do something based on Tolkien, and...

    Silmarillion postponed?

    Given the vast quantity of material in the ‘History of Middle Earth’ how different do you think the Silmarillion would have been if Christopher Tolkien had complied it 30 years later?
  3. 🎶Music inspired by LOTR & The Silmarillion

    Hello everybody! 22 years ago, before the 1st LOTR movie came out, I had been working on musical project called "Back To Middle Earth", some of you might remember it as it was quite popular online. Last year I began working on a new LOTR and The Silmarillion inspired project under the artist...

  5. Considering investing in future Silmarillion movies?

    Hey guys, It is an inevitable fact that silmarillion movies will be made after the amazon series ends. I will be in LA when the silmarillion movies are made. I have a question that I am wondering about. I am asking very seriously. Please take it seriously because it is an important issue for me...
  6. What motivated Tolkien to create the mythology of Arda?

    Hello! I would like to bring up the topic of Tolkien's actual linguistic research, motivation, goals and all literary, historically valid, incentives behind his cultural heritage, the work of his life. I would like to emphasise on his attention to the coherent approach as a Professor that...

  8. Tar Míriel’s forced marriage?

    How did Ar-Pharazôn force Míriel to marry him? Like weren’t there people who wouldn’t have allowed it? Why didn’t she call the police or whatever they had in Númenor or something?
  9. The Silmarillion AU.

    Okay, so I've asked for help with my Alternate Universe Silmarillion before but it was in pieces and hard to describe. Here is what I've written in full. Enjoy it, if you will, and please provide feedback. I've also hit a wall on where to go so help on how to proceed is most appreciated...
  10. Has anyone listened to this volume of The Silmarillion?

    According to the description on the page in the link, in this volume of The Silmarillion it says that he fought for Turin in the War of Wrath. Have you listen this volume? The description is at the bottom of the link I posted. https://www.amazon.in/Silmarillion-J-R-Tolkien/dp/0001054678

    The Silmarillion Movie: Will it ever be made?

    I've been reading The Silmarillion and am over halfway through. Many of the events in the book are so extraordinary and ethereal that it seems like producing a movie would be an extremely tough task. None the less I really want to see a movie made, it almost has to because it is the only work...

  14. The Lord of the Rings Appendices before the silmarillion?

    I have started reading through Tolkiens works for the first time and I'm loving it so far. I have so far read the hobbit, and I'm making my way through the trilogy. But my translation of the books doesn't include the appendices as they were sold separately for some reason. Should I buy the...
  15. Was the Conclusion of the Silmarillion a Misstep?

    After working through the History of Middle-earth volumes, I have begun to question whether Christopher Tolkien made the right decision with the conclusion he chose for the published Silmarillion. I finally gathered all of my thoughts together here - making a case that he probably should have...

    Advice on The Silmarillion

    I'm planning to get a copy of The Silmarillion soon and I know there are some different editions and it kind of confuses me. What is a good copy to pick up? I would definitely prefer hardcover. Thanks!
  17. Silmarillion Battles in Miniature

    These are "Old School" -- I recognize some I bought way back in the 70's: http://miniaturesgaming.blogspot.com/?m=1
  18. Summary of the Silmarillion (With epic pictures)

    Silmarillion is a great book, though quite biblically ponderous and sadly clinically free from humour. Skilled script writers could make several outstanding movies, or even a TV-series based on its many episodic stories. It's black and white (though the Fëanoreans are more greyscale characters)...
  19. Seeking "On the Construction of 'The Silmarillion' by Charles Noad"

    Does anyone know where I could obtain this? other than spending $100 for Tolkien's Legendarium?
