There's a lot more than just The Hobbit in these films. The appendices from Lord of the Rings are also being used to further fill in the 60-year gap between the Hobbit and LotR and for further character development.Flip wrote:Is this really necessary? Maybe... or maybe its overkill. It was the shortest book! Now, are we going to have to include evrything like Tom Bombadil and every dwarven/hobbit song?
EDIT: I think i am getting the hobbit and the first LotR book mixed up, i dont think Tom is in The Hobbit anymore... might be time for a re-read.
The Silmarillion as a whole is much much darker than Tolkien's other works; and in regards to Hurin; there is a portion of the Silmarillion I can never get through without tearing up;Shrinweck wrote:I'm not familiar with the Silmarillion but I don't think The Children of Hurin could ever be made into a movie that would appeal to anyone. That book is dark. Like, come home from WWI and sit down to write a novel to district yourself from what you just went through kind of dark. I loved the book but sitting through the movie would make me want to open my veins. This book nearly makes The Road look like a happy romp through the Shire.
