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 wish I had bought more volumes of the History of Middle Earth in first edition when it came out. I stopped at Vol three: "The Lays of Beleriand". The full twelve volumes in first command silly prices now. I assume this version of "The Fall of Gondolin" will take from all the sources and give us a definitive version of the narrative.

I'll have to buy it. It will be a huge print run and essentially worthless excepting for the content. My favourite sort of book-buying is for content, because content is about reading. :)

It will be good to see how Christopher Tolkien reconciles the anomalies in the various versions of the narrative.
