Is it based on the recently discovered Tolkien's final draft, in which Fëanor donates the Silmarils for the repair of the Trees and his sons go on to lead happy and productive lives?
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Why would they pick a female actress when their funder is such a perfect match for the part?

No-no. It’s based on the draft in which Fëanor builds a huge empire, smoke grass on elfTV, and then his people unionize to gain equal access to the Silmaril’s wealth.

I'm pretty sure that is the Middle-Mars franchise... :P
