Can we please adapt the Silmarillion?! These stories need to be visualized. (SPOILERS ABOUND)

I dunno, just wondering how you visualize something like that. Like a whole choir of angels is competing with their voice for what they think the world should be.

Hell, maybe it would be awesome, like the the Sopranos in the choir could be singing and that would be the show's cue to depict things like oceans while the deeper, more rumbling voice of Melkor would make mountains and valleys...... y'know I might actually watch that.

Anyhoo, I still maintain that the unfinished, hodge-podge-epic nature of the book would make it a huge problem to adapt.

Also, I think I speak for everyone when I say that the thing we really want to see is for them to give the first War of the Ring it's own Star Wars prequel treatment. Y'know how Sauron is all menacing and mysterious and stuff in LOTR? Well let's throw all that in the trash and Anakin him all up! We can have him and Elrond be kinda buddies or frenemies, have Sauron get all wangsty and moody, we can make millions selling this shit to Peter Jackson. (Yes I know that war was not in the Simarillion, just go with it)

These are the assholes that made the Hobbit 10 hours long. They will probably buy that Sauron prequel script that half of us here must have buried in their HD.

This was the music I was thinking when I was reading the Ainulindale:

At this point, you would be effectively making Fantasia. Now where'd I put muh monocle and tweed jacket? I suddenly fancy myself a night at the orchestra.

That's exactly how I would film the Ainulindale, like Fantasia with some dialoge as read in the book.

Also I suggest you listen to Dante's Inferno by Litsz:
