Vienintelis ir nepakartojamas Helge Fauskanger rašė: Our view slides down the starry field, somewhat like the beginning of any Star Wars movie, but no roaring spacecraft will emerge this time.O dabar - prie reikalo
onscreen Valar just wouldn't work!
In Armenelos there is surely also a giant statue of Hugo Weaving...
"THE Sauron? The servant of Morgoth in the hoary tales from the First Age?" - "Why not? After all, everybody lives forever except us."
As in most Tolkien stories, the gender balance is anything but a balance
Pharazôn would express his frustration that the Númenoreans only live for a couple of hundred years or so and then "rot and die" (not necessarily in that order)
Would it strain credibility too much if Elrond just happens to be visiting Lindon when the Númenoreans drop by?
Now Tolkien's story is primarily a psychological drama -- but after all the inevitable anticipation of a huge conflict with Mordor, the audience would probably feel let down if in the event, the Númenoreans go back to Westernesse not having fought any battles at all. Also, Elendil has been presented to us as a great hero, and he must be given a chance to demonstrate his heroics and martial skills. This is not like Jackson throwing in a completely gratuitous "Warg battle" in The Two Towers so that we can have ACTION, ACTION, ACTION!!! Or that is my opinion.
a mutated pterodactyl suddenly rises towards the dark sky in a storm of flapping wings
The Númenorean army begins to move inland. The "natives" greet them with flowers and music (so to speak), happy to be liberated from the tyranny of Mordor.
Apart from the need for a "Legolas" character in our movie, there is a good reason why Glorfindel could be inserted into this story.
In a Westernesse movie, Glorfindel should finally be allowed to enter the silver screen; the poor guy has been ignored by too many movie-makers already!)
Yeah, a few of the Professor's plot elements may be palpably repetitive -- not only do fights with Balrogs always end with a long fall into an abyss, but the Balrog's opponent, after dying, also comes back to life.
If the Orcs notice them, they are DEAD, and for Glorfindel that would be a "been there, done that" experience.
Sauron's mace hovers ominously above the King: It really looks as if Pharazôn is going to be royal ketchup.
Anyway, this is a movie and we have to tell the story using interesting pictures, and the Tengwar inscription looks COOL.
"It seemed to men that Sauron was great, though they feared the light of his eyes. To many he appeared fair, to others terrible; but to some evil." (The Lost Road p. 67) Thank you, Professor. And what did you say the color of his hair was?
One small step for an incarnated Maia, one giant leap for the Dark Lord...
This would be a challenge for the actor: when Sauron gets to see Armenelos in all its glory, he is to be both (very visibly) astonished and (almost unnoticeably) infuriated at the incredible achievements of the Númenoreans. (It would be especially challenging since I guess the actor is really gazing at a rather unimpressive bluescreen at this point!)
Sauron didn't really surrender; he just availed himself of the chance to get free transport to Númenor
reactionary Eru-fundamentalists
Unless you are a New Line Cinema executive desperate to pay me a million dollars, the guestbook is probably the best place to write any comments you may have.
as far as I know, the copyright holders have never authorized any post-Tolkien writer to either write new stories set in Tolkien's world or to flesh out some of Tolkien's own legends as full-length novels.
