    This trailer is so well made it is scary. If you know the book well enough you will notice that it follows the story in the book almost perfectly. Sir, I salute you for making so good trailer!!!!

    if there is ever an official adaptation the trailers NEED to start with Feanor's speech like this one does. It was chillingly good. thank you so much!!!

    Infinity times better than the Amazon trailer. Although cut together from other fantasy movies, I guess it's natural that you're going to be able to piece together shots that look like they came straight from The Silmarillion. Just excellent work.
    I came across this video years ago and was hoping someone would even attempt to adapt any part of The Silmarillion. And when Amazon made the announcement that they were, I was shocked and excited. But after following the production and seeing what it's become, it makes me appreciate something as simple as this fan trailer so much more.

    Excellent! This is the best Tolkien video I have yet found on UA-cam. It is completely unlike most fan-made videos. Unfortunately most of them show only fast-paced battle which is not even what The Silmarillion is mostly about. By watching this video you get to catch glimpses of the characters and story as well as battle scene.

  • @sapphirevilya

    Thank you for making this incredible trailer!! I have watched it countless times. Just wanted to add my comment here among many others to let you know I love it! This is quite possibly the best Silmarillion fan-made trailer I've seen here on UA-cam. Most others use generic Voice-over lines from movies scattered throughout and random fast-paced scenes which would not distinguish it from any other random medieval action movie out there. Yours actually has substance - and the scenes, even though short, follow along crucial parts of the book incredibly well! I can see points of the story flashing before my eyes while watching it.

  • @i-am-a-tree592

  • @Theudegisel

    I fervently hope that Disney will never be in the position to lay hands on one of Tolkien's stories. Any effort by Disney to make them into a film would mean making mock of them, as Disney turns anything into silly.

    • @WarriorMondenkind
      @WarriorMondenkind 6 років тому +4

      Thankfully Tolkien stated in his will that Disney is never to have his work, he hated how dwarves were portrayed in Snow White and he too felt that Disney was disrespectful and silly of a race that had nobility and valor and courage and a deep rich history of their own. So sleep well Robert, Disney will never have Middle-Earth. Just look it up, the words that JRR uses to express his dislike of Disney is quite droll and wonderful.

    Very well done! An excellent piece of work. It must have taken a great deal of time to piece all of those disparate film clips together. Having the audio book narration at the beginning was brilliant. Unfortunately a big studio adaptation of The Silmarillion would be an atrocity as there would be no original dialogue used, it would end up being a ridiculous action-adventure movie like the garbage jackson made of Tolkien's later works.

    This was breathtaking, a job well done. While I would love to see this on there big screen no one would be able to do it right. The book is simply to big, and filled with to much history and lore and wonder. Cutting any one part out would take away from the next story. I wold also add that if they made a movie just surrounding the life of Elrond I might freak out. That one character has so much awesome angsty back story.

  • @scottartist

    Very nicely put together. It does make for an inspiring hint of what could be. But how to do THE SILMARILLION for real? Either a series of movies to cover as much of the material as possible, or a documentary style look at the book as history?

  • @huahualipo
    @huahualipo 11 років тому +1

    Indeed Feanor's words are a little nonchalant, he was half crazy at the time and hearing his fierce words his listeners was stirred into madness. But I think it's wonderful to start a movie with Feanor's speech! Also, until now I never realized the fall of Numenor would make such an eye-candy! This is indeed great work. Congrats!

    If it is made into a movie, it would have to be done over the course of several films. Not for profit's sake, but for the sheer span of years it entails. You could make a whole movie out of nearly every chapter with some dialog and mundane scenes being written in here and there. Still, I would go see every one. Love the Silmarillion. If it was done right with a proper budget it would be even more epic than the Lord of the Rings movies.
