The Silmarillion - Teaser Trailer - Concept

[@GameOvais]

A couple of messages I would like to share. Firstly. If you're a fan of cinema like me (who isn't?), then please be sure to check out my other videos. I think you'll enjoy my Ultimate Cinematic Montages, you can see the playlist below. kzbin.info/aero/PLzPHOqNB9AX8SZJCYLWLjDTktNoHAk-P7&si=tK6PIMqcOjtOAQzP Secondly. Normally my videos don't get more than a few thousand views a year, but this one has just taken off in the last couple of weeks. It has resulted in more foul mouthed idiots watching and commenting. Therefore I am making my position clear - I will not tolerate any foul mouthed language. Your comment will be removed and you will be blocked.

[@Achilles22]

Well said

[@m_n-1478]

When can watch can I know

[@ThePinkus]

That would be a hard nut to crack, any chapter of it could be a whole trilogy on its own.

[@MaybeSomeday833]

I was thinking the exact same thing while watching the trailer.

[@BeagleRescuer13]

Agreed!

[@KatieCatWalker]

We had the X-Files for 13 seasons, it can be done. Just this take a lot longer because it's going to need to be animated.

[@revddtunivesralbroadcaststash]

i know right?

[@GameOvais]

Good point - but you have to start somewhere right? Would anyone invest into a huge movie franchise without testing the waters first? A studio might be able to cope with a failed trilogy at the box office but could it cope with a failed 6-10 part franchise? Making a TV Series makes sense - but not many TV series have such big budgets.

[@delappedesigns]

I hate you so much right now for getting my hopes up. I truly thought this teaser to be real. Then I read the description... now I'm devastated. Well, I guess that just emphasises the incredibly good work you put into this.

[@jasonjalivay4893]

it's missing ONE thing! A shot of the silmarills.

[@GameOvais]

Good point - perhaps in the next trailer you'll see them - stay tuned.

[@AndreiFarcas]

I wouldn't show them in any trailer. I would build up the tension until the full motion picture reveals them

[@Maedhros587]

Maybe they are too magnificent and divine to ever be shown on the screen.

[@CedarMist]

I hope that, even if only while the credits are playing, they re-create Tolken’s creation myth. That would be visually amazing.

[@darkosimic7945]

THere could be about a dozen films based on Silmarillion tales.

[@michaelpace99]

Probably better as a multi season show with a big budget like Rings of Power. But keeping closer to the source material

[@lostshamybruno890]

Tu piensa que la historia que tiene, el desarrollo de cada, cada personaje, cada lugar, no se acabaria nunca, y es un proyecto demasiado extenso para una simple pelicula o serie, tendria q ser una superproduccion para que los fans, y todo el mundo realmente vieran lo que leyeron o ser minimo un 90% canon, para que estemos todos contentos jajaja, y poner a alguien enfrente que sepa lo que hace, y no sea solo marketing!! Gracias tolkien por existir...

[@CarmenVeranda]

​@@michaelpace99Much closer. And don't make all the Valar women.

[@asokatano9410]

Silmarilion only makes sense as a whole for a 5,6,7 seasons series. Maybe Silmarilion is a short book, but to make this story work you have to expand it very much. Because Silmarilion is more like overall script, I mean there are a lot of short cuts, almost no dialogs. Mostly Tolkien mentions something very fast something that happend throughout centuries. If someone want to make a movie, then only 3 stories are possible to do, Beren and Luthien, Children of Hurin, The fall of Gondolin, very single one of them can have material for 2 films or trylogy. But Silmarilion as a whole is only possible to do on screen as a long series. There are a lot of fan ideas how to make this kind of Series, in my view the best opnipm would bo to start in Valinor in Tirion where we have prologue what happend before, 5 minutes long about creating Arda, and about elves arriving to Valinor, The Series shouldnt have much screen time of Valar and Maiars all of them should be only mentioned or showing up as very side characters, but of course with great importance. The plot should be about politics, about relations in Valinor, probably writers should make up some villains, or change apperance of Ungoliana, Morgoth and overall bad guys to be more active otherwise it would be borring show (I mean this part in Valinor), the story should focus on Feanor, Fingolfin and Finrod and Galadriel as main characters in Valinor. 1st season should end by elves leaving Valinor killing in Alqualonde. In 2 season we should have introduded Thingol and Cirdan as side characters, show should focus on Feanor to his death, after that mostly like in the book. In my view in 2nd season Meadhros, Finrod and Turgon should be main characters with Thingol, Fingolfin and Fingon being important ones. 3rd season should be ended by Dagor Bragollah and death of Fingolfin. 4 season it is obviously story of Beren and Luthien, with Nirneath Arnoediad ending 4 season, 5 season should be about Turin and Tuor. And 6 the last season should be about Earendil and war of wrath, and Sauron escaping. It could be made in 5 seasons imo, but they should be a little bit longer, episodes should have about 40-50min long, 8-12 episodes in season with 1st one having a little less just because too much of them could be boring, 8 for 1st season would be Perfect, they should introduce all elves in that season, from Feanor, to elves like Celebrimbor. Silmarilion Series done right would be amazing, there is huge potential in it. But of course it is a huge risk for a Company to do it, just like LOTR was 20 years ago. If they want to do it they should start with one of 3 stories and make movies of it, and after that they could do Series from it. Seeing Beren and Luthien wouls be amazing, other stories like Fall of gondolin or Children of Hurin needs a lot of explaining. Beren and Luthien is universal love story, and it is the only story that is mentioned in LOTR movies, (expect mention that Glamdring is sword of King of Gondolin in Unexpected journey in hobbit)

[@adrianciobanu5856]

​@@asokatano9410😂😂😂 are 5 wars can do 5 trilogies ,15 films only to Turin , Turin can have 3 films , in doriath and with outlowers 2,2 films Nagrotrond and Brethil 2 films kiling glauring so are 7 films , Tuor trilogy , Fall of Doriath trilogy , Fall of Falas , Fall of Targelion , Trilogy of Earendil War of Whrath 4 films Lutien trilogy with Tevildo , Lutien trilogy with sauron , minimum 43 films

After disappointment of ROP we need some epic JRR moments!!!

[@omicroneridani7456]

Do not expect anything... they are going to vandalise even the most sacred and untouchable tolkenian work...

[@gretimedgyesi5325]

@@omicroneridani7456 same producers? Or how do we know???🥺

[@XyZed1000]

You know,,for a second I thought, fan made, then a part of hoped as this was an epic trailer! I've seen loads of fan made trailers but, if someone is allowed to make this. .....news to be a series obviously, they should take a look at this work you've done! Epic!

[@inajohnson5636]

Very well done!

[@GameOvais]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@audiethacker907]

Faenor would be a difficult character to do right, but if it could be done, it would make for a very good movie. I'd like to see a good version of the fight between Fingolfin and Morgoth.

[@juon5426]

Its dizzying, the colossal scale that The War of Wrath was made any war with Sauron look like a playground disagreement

[@mr.hawklingiii8739]

The War of Wrath could be a trilogy on its own

[@davidpestrikoff1997]

Right on, MORE Tolkien on the big screen! Can't wait! 👏

[@donaldlococo954]

It would be more like 12 movies if done faithfully.

[@alomejorqueno]

Agreed. They would have to fill in a lot of material. It would be mice if they got some serious Tolkien scholars to flesh out some of the details instead of whoever got picked by Amazon

[@davidg2247]

Easily 12, probably more

[@jimthain8777]

That could be done 12+ movies, and it would be incredibly amazing if done well. Of course some people would just have to have the entire 12+ movies, right?

[@gdsvalentine1193]

Well fact or fiction, I for one, would welcome a Peter Jackson interpretation of Melkor and Ungoliant and the Trees of the Valinor, Telperion and Laurelin. So bring it on!

[@salsabiilaraudhatuljannahy886]

We need a Saga from Silmarillion!!!

[@abcde_fz]

Well you did a great job, it's a killer trailer, even if it's made for a film that doesn't exist. It sure looks like it would have been epic, wherever the hell you got all the visuals!!!

[@dougiec3]

Great stuff! Especially with the disclaimer at the end! Ha! Got me!

[@GameOvais]

Glad you liked it!

[@seanhardner5842]

Seems true to the book since I have no idea what is going on in any of this but it looks fantastic!

[@mikekolokowsky]

True to the book! I had no idea what I was reading, either. Thingol, brother of Fingol, who is Lord of Snarkland, also known as North Ooliganstan, but Dongivafuk to the Nihilists of South Knowhereville, but also Thingol’s name was Apu the Stereotype while he led the Chain of Outposts known as Seven Elven.

[@GameOvais]

It's not truwe to the book because I was listening to the audiobook during muy morning commute and I couldn't make an arm or leg of what I was listening to. But I made this trailer based on the very little that stuck.

[@hughgavin3302]

Well done loved this video and hope they turn it into many different seasons of it

[@borinacalzetta1394]

Masterwork and Supreme creation of Tolkien

[@FPLCivilian]

i loved this 'Trailer' lol. - but the all rights reserved section at the end had me in stitches... brilliant :)

[@destructoau7526]

Incredible as it would be, the medium of film could never do this justice.

[@jimthain8777]

I disagree... but it would take talented script writers, patient and persistent producers, and directors with a real vision, to make the movies that could be made from these epic tales.

[@cragar4477]

You did an amazing job creating this concept trailer. I actual thought is was a real trailer ( & wished it was really happening). Unfortunately, the book would be incredibly difficult to turn into a movie (possibly a trilogy)

[@beelzebobtheinnocent1659]

What an amazing piece of work !!!

[@Joshua-bb3ko]

No director would do this Book justice, the book is a work of art not fiction.

[@jordanluyendyk1281]

I thought the Tolkien estate still owns the rights to The Silmarillion book which can't be made into films yet by any film studio. If this is for real would be awesome.

[@jesusknight1]

Almost got me until I read the fine print at 1:42 lolz.. Great visuals!

[@penneyburgess5431]

I got chills. I want to cry. Or dance. Merry Christmas everyone!❤

[@jbomb1981]

Brilliant effort. Fantastic job 🙏

[@samburchard9921]

I would love to see Peter Jackson do this as a series on streaming. Each season would be a series of episodes as long or short as they need to be tell one of the stories from the Silmarillion. That way he would not feel like he needed to add a lot of superfluous stuff of his own. (I know he was pushed by the producers to make the Hobbit a trilogy.) I even think that the creation could be epic with a great composer, it would be like watching Fantasia, music and visuals. For now just a beautiful dream...

[@keikun145]

When i think of the Silmarillion i thnk of the valor as the gods from Immortals.

I knew this was going to be a fan made trailer, but I was intrigued. After watching it I will say I was impressed with the quality. Excellent job, but like someone else in the comments said…Where are the Silmaril’s. 😁

[@markdup1]

The best Fan-made trailer I've seen in Decades! Beautiful!!

I genuinely hope Hollywood will not degrade the Silmarillion as they did with LOTR and The Hobbit.

[@Noiconnotag]

The Silmarillion is a fantastic book, I dare say I enjoyed it more than the Lotr trilogy. I really hope they won't mess it up.

[@samuelbonacorsi2048]

The silmarillion is easily 6 movies. Very nice trailer and I hope someday to see a quality film adaptation worthy of manwe.

[@Anonymus99]

Well done!

[@MM-yq5vf]

Your trailers looks good you should create the movies, since almost nothing worth spending money is coming out anymore. I still go to all the re showing of lord of the rings I rather see them 100 times before waisting a second on ROP bs

[@thomasschofield6633]

Just stay true to Tolkien; No need to embellish or revise for modern sensibilities and it will be fine.

[@dougeaton2446]

Well that looks badass let's hope the do well with it cause tou could do many movies out of that set

[@RubyRedheart-id6bz]

LETS GOOOOO

[@hughgavin3302]

I am a huge fan of David gemmil would love to see alot of his books turned into fils they are epic fantasy can't understand why he has been left aside

[@asokatano9410]

Saying it is impossible to do is like saying the LOTR is impossible to do from the past. As a series it is easly possible to do, as movies only 3 stories, Beren and Luthien, Children of Hurin and The Fall of Gondolin, as movies all Silmarilion is impossible to do, it would have taken century to do it. As 5,6 season long series it could be done and it could give Tolkien worka perfect justice

[@markadams7046]

Would make for a great steaming series. Stories always become how the reader interprets them. I wish the Tolkien family weren't such sticklers about how others give their own interpretations of the stories, but I always felt that copyrights deterred the creative building on the shoulders of giants. Just like there have been many different take on Arthurian legends, some good, others not so good, I still feel that the stories in general have been much improved by the many takes that many have had on the stories. I wish the same could be done for Tolkien's world. Eventually all copyrights will become public domain, but must we really have to wait so long?

[@remyetiennelebeau8364]

Please no streaming

[@Eowyn3Pride]

This can't be real...it's VERY AWESOME...but there are TOO MANY epic stories within the Silmarillion to roll it into 1 movie. This is folly...🥺🧙‍♂️🥔

[@meilean]

Really a great trailer. Looks like an epic battle and full of action. 🎉❤ Though I really miss Meadhros, and elves? Any of them? Feanor, like he wears the silmarils, some expressions of faces maybe? to give a bit more insight about what the movie could be about. If I only see the trailer, I can not really make out about what it will be... I think the story of Maedhros and Fingon would make a great tridecalogy by itself. 😂

[@MU-TH-UR]

1:15. Turin Turambar in full bassery

[@mfreelancer767]

I like the video and the fact that it is owned by Novak 🤩

[@TheBlackDogChronicles]

After the huge mess that has been made of Tolkien's work, culminating with the embarrassing farce that was 'The Pings of Powder', one would think the lesson should be learned; Tolkien's works are best brought into existence as you read or have them read to you. Every other version is only a shadow of the true beauty of the original. If you don't agree with these words, then perhaps you will be swayed by a person who should have the last say on the matter; Christopher Tolkien who was not only Tolkien's trusted custodian of his work after his death, but also the person who took on the task of collating the multiple versions of stories that Tolkien had worked on and potentially abandoned, or only half-completed and brought together into the singular cohesive text we now refer to as The Silmarillion. Referring to the films by Peter Jackson, Christopher Tolkien said this; "They eviscerated the book by making it an action movie for young people aged 15 to 25. The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of the work, and what it has become, has overwhelmed me. The commercialization has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the creation to nothing. There is only one solution for me: to turn my head away." I agree with him.

[@GameOvais]

A genuine comment of this length deserves a reasonable response from the video creator. I disagree with you - sure the movies don't do justice to JRRT's work - but they are nonetheless entertaining and enjoyable. I remember watching the Fellowship of The Ring for the first time - I cannot express the sheer joy watching it.

[@nole8923]

@@GameOvaisIn referring to Peter Jackson’s movies I agree. However, what Amazon has done is nothing short of an abomination and a vile molestation and rape of Tolkiens work. I hope in time Rings of Power will be discarded as a mistake and forgotten about. Erased from memory. If dug up 100 years from now it will be looked at as a deliberate parody of Tolkiens work.

The only people I would trust to do this are New Line Cinema and Peter Jackson’s crew. Keep Disney and Amazons vile, filthy, infected, and corrupted hands far far away from it. That being said, they could easily make 10 or more movies from the Silmarillion.

[@garrybessant826]

You could throw away the MCU and have a whole Middle Earth Cinematic Universe with movies for each of the events of Silmarillion. Its too huge a tale for a movie or even a trilogy.

[@loridresser9420]

Really curious how they are going to make this exciting. I tried to read the book as a student : felt like wrestling through family tree after family tree. The Old Testament is way more exciting IMO. Skipped the lot and moved straight into the sequel.

Lol just noticed ffs

[@Eadbhard]

J.R.R. Tolkien's "chief critic and collaborator", Christopher Tolkien - the man who produced "The Silmarillion" from his father's unpublished writings that were half a century old - once said the "Lord of the Rings" and "The Silmarillion" were "peculiarly unsuitable for transformation into visual dramatic form." I could not agree with him more. No thanks, Peter Jackson. You gave us your condensed, altered, winnowed, customized version of Tolkien's masterpiece, and now you're doing to do the same thing with "The Silmarillion"? No thanks. The books are beautiful by themselves, and by themselves alone; they do not need to be reproduced by you.
