lord of the rings
what is the point of filming the book? you are supposed to adapt it to fit the new medium, it is not the directors job to film the book, that is an absurd notion.
Still, if you inisit on following the story exactly and film the book (i.e. make a boring film) then follow through with it, don't hollywoodize the ending to make it all happy and 45 minutes longer than it needs to be.
