Friday offtopic: JRRT trilogy?

[airiefairie]

Just a small survey. Now that they've announced they're going to make a new trilogy after JRRTolkien's works, which epoch or story in particular would you prefer to be filmed? Say, from the Silmarillion? Many are citing the saga of Beren and Luthien as an obvious candidate plot, others are saying the saga of the Children of Hurin, or Feanor and the Silmarils... or why not Acalabeth, the fall of Numenor. All in all, there's lots of material out there. So... any ideas?

And what titles would you give to these films?

I would do the Alkallabeth as its own film, with a more self-contained narrative featuring the reign of Ar-Pharazon the Golden. I'd also out-GW GW by making him literally The GoldenTM and a blatant ripoff of this guy:

As much as possible within copyrights.

He lands with an army of equally golden clad opulent Numenoreans and it's a unique perspective flip of these films from the perspective of the villains culminating in his desperate last war against the Valar and the Breaking of the World and the Downfall of Numenor. Isildur would be played by Viggo Mortensen in this film and the last scene is a bookend to the War of the Jewels trilogy by showing Isildur meeting with Elrond and he and his survivors of Numenor joining the War of the Last Alliance.
