-Balin is just a normal dwarf, but is later mentioned in LOTR as having led a band of dwarved into moria, where they were killed by goblins. They find a book recalling their last accounts near his tomb (although I'm not quite sure how they made a tomb while they were getting massacred...kinda confused me)
Balin was killed before the final stand, outside at Mirrormere, so they must have had time.
After all, the tombs of royalty tend to be prepared for them before they die, and he was Lord of Moria.

OMG I thought they stopped doing them! This is awesome to see, I'm really hyped about that movie, it doesn't happen often!
|
Seriously this is taking forever, but cant wait
|
I just giggled when i saw that trailer, i saw all the lotr movies opening midnight showings when they came out
|
I am sure this will be great. But the book goes so indepth into the story that Im not sure I will be pleased with a 2 - 3 hour movie, but we will see.

There is only one Hobbit movie in my world.

Well the first LOTR book is so so much deeper than the actual movie. Imagine if they had included the whole story in the book for the movie, it would probably have been a 6 hour long maraton !!! Hell just Tom Bombadill could take up one or two hours alone. Jackson has already displayed awesome awareness as to what to leave out and what to include and still make a masterpiece, I doubt this would be any different; we'll see.
Here's hoping The Silmarillion will be seen in IMAX 3D in 2013 !!!!!!! :D We can all dream right ?

The Silmarillion is poorly written and lacks endearing characters, character development, and hobbits.
So no.

2nd age with the first war against Sauron would be so sick and can work.

It is indeed impossible to make a (decent) movie based on the silmarillion, however its possible to make a movie based on the children of Hùrin =)

Hey, look, it's just like any other action movie these days then.
Dunno, the Lay of Leithian is pretty fucking epic. You could definitely make a movie about that IMO.
Man, Thorin so badass in the trailer.

Hmm, 2nd age might be able to work good if they have good character development and doesnt solely focus on action (although the action is the main part).

will definitly watch this movie!

I know a lot of people have beef with The Silmarillion, but that's because they were expecting another LOTR or The Hobbit. I knew exactly what it was going into it (a chronicle of the history of Arda), and it was unbelievably rewarding. Perhaps being made to read the bible a lot from a young age has helped me deal better with writings like these, but the depth, detail, and richness of the world Tolkien created is enough to hook anyone with a grain of imagination. Of course the entire book cannot easily be translated onto the silver screen, but it's certainly possible to take one of the multitude of stories from the book and turn it into a film. The Tale of Beren and Luthien, The Children of Hurin, The Fall of Gondolin and Tuor & Earendil's story (including the War of Wrath), The Exile of the Noldor....etc. I would dearly love to see any of them on the big screen someday. Hopefully someone has the money & balls to make it happen.

Due to the way the Silmarillion is written, it wouldn't do well as a movie IMO. They could make a good mini-series out of it, though. The Silmarillion is pretty much just packed with a bunch of short stories telling the history of the First Age and stuff. Would translate better to each getting their own hour-long episode, rather than trying to make a movie for just one, or a movie cramming them all in.

This is going to be soooo epic... I cannot wait for The Hobbit to come out!!! So happy they're dividing it into 2 parts as well :-)
