This could be both quite good and original.
LotR takes place at the end of the Third Age and Tolkien expanded that into the three novels, but he also wrote (and his son co-wrote, edited and published) The Silmarillion, which covered everything until the end of the Third Age.
I always thought The Silmarillion contained enough source material to make a dozen "LotR"s and keep everything consistent within the same universe. I hope that do that instead of a "Young Aragorn" type of deal.
- koolba 9y agoThe Silmarillion is by far my favorite book in that set. The story of Beren and Luthien alone would make a fantastic series. I hope that's the route they go as well.
- notacoward 9y agoSilmarillion is mostly First Age, with scant coverage given to the Second and none to the Third. Personally, even as a serious Tolkien fan in my younger days, I'd find a Silmarillion-based series totally uninteresting and would prefer just about any other part of the canon.
