WB approaches you to create a Tolkien cinematic universe out of the Silmarillion and the Tolkien legendarium. You must connect all the movies together somehow, but are otherwise given full creative control.
What movies do you make? Who do you cast? Who directs? etc.
>Feanor quadriliogy
>two Sauron prequels
>Ungoliant movie
>Melkor movie
>Ungoliant v Melkor: Dawn of Shelob
>Gollum trilogy
>Gandalf prequel miniseries on HBO
I spend the entire budget on post-production bloom effects and twirly-whirlies.

>Shadows of Mordor film starring Mads Mikkelsen
>directed by Nicholas Winding Refn
>a movie on Aragorn's tax policy directed by Sam Raimi
Retcon the lot and start at the end

Postpone everything as long as possible while cute interns lick my crusty asshole while crying and still believing in all their innocence one day I will make them movie stars.

Is mankind ready for that level of kino?

Fund this.
>Fall of Melkor
>Oath of Feanor
>Battle Under the Stars
>Children of Hurin
>Battle of Sudden Flame
>Battle of Unnumbered Tears
>Fall of Gondolin
>War of Wrath 1 and 2
Every casting of the Silmarillion I've seen always looks garbage.

12 part faux documentary directed by Ken Burns. Get a list of celebrities to do narration and reading exerpts over slow pans over maps, still images, and "reenactments."
Plebs will hate it, nerds will appreciate it.

I would never make it.
I bomb the studio.

I'd never allow another Tolkien movie to be made after the shit show that was The Hobbit. But the following partition is the objectively correct one.
>Part 1: Ainulindale through Dagor Aglareb
>Part 2: The Siege of Angband through Dagor Bragollach ending with the death of Fingolfin
>Beren and Luthien spin-off
>Children of Hurin spin-off
>Part 3: Nirnaeth Arnoediad through the conclusion of The War of Wrath
>Part 4: The Fall of Numenor through the Last Alliance

This would be much better than films
