It's not a reality, yet, but his posting is called Whishlist, and here's one from me.
It's just that Sunday9-7-08 in Connecticut, USA, watching "Chinese Walls", on PBS, it seemed the Inspector was so Elvish!
Dark hair, pale complexion, and yet, not weak in any way. Patrician bearing, grace in movement, and ... elvish neck.
I thought he'd make a fine elf hero for a film of the "Silmarillion" by Tolkein.
His children would love it, if he took it up!
A Dad can't be too pupular with his youngsters -
soon the time is gone, and the window for such magic is gone, too!
If you are not a J.R.R. Tolkien fan, "The Silmarillion" is Very PRE-quel to the "Lord of the Rings". It is J.R.R.Tolkien's version of "Bullfinch's Mythology" .
In LOTR the Elves, Dwarves, Wizards and Hobbits make reference to the earliest gods and demi-gods and people of Middle Earth, and how their magic, in times long past, set the course for the events in LOTR. The magic rings, stones, pools, swords, and Palantiri/crystal balls for seeing, were all invented by the characters in "the Silmarillion". The opening sequence of LOTR, shows the characters of the "Silmarillion" fashioning the rings and the ONE ring.
"Silmarillion"'s heroes are like the heroes of the myths -
full of magic and powers and flaws, tragic and comic; and their stories poems, songs and adventures are like the stories of the Greek and Roman Gods and Goddesses, so successfully released as films through the years.
In the 80s, the film, "Clash of the Titans", about the Greek gods and their adventures, did very very well. All these years later, things would surely be nice for a movie called, "The Silmarillion" ... especially with Nathaniel Parker as a major player in the project.
Just an idea...comment welcome!
