Exactly, Grey.
Just read the chapter on Friendship from Four Loves, and GW, you are a Friend.

Personally, I'd looooove to see individual episodes of the Sil filmed. It would be so excellent -- imagine the battle between Morgoth and Fingolfin?
But, objectively, I don't see how it's likely. Too much, too obscure, too expensive. Too good, mayhaps. A nicely done series of graphic novels (a la The Sandman) would be a fitting medium.

Ahhh, it could be SO good ... *wafts anti-PJ spray* Yes, I think the little series of vignettes idea would be cool.

Pretty sure it won't happen. Too much time and effort and only the really big Tolkien fans would even stir at the thought of a Sil production. To even market it they'd have to get known big names behind it like Peter Jackson because of his involvement with the LotR movies. Plus it would be cool to reuse some of the actors (Galadriel, Celeborn, Elrond, Gil-Galad, Elendil, Isildur). However the scale of the project would just be too much.
Plus I can't imagine how they'd cast something like that. Way too much money would be spent on casting. Think of how big it was for LotR and then basically times that by 10. And I'm kind of scared to think about what actors they'd give some major parts too. Like I don't want a Brad Pitt Feanor and a Leonardo DiCaprio Maedhros. Or a Colin Farrell Turin. I think we lucked out for the most part with the LotR casting calls let's not push it. Though if the casting budget is spread so thin it would be a good bet that we would see a lot of no-names as supporting roles, which would be a good thing. On a related note isn't there a Silmarillion casting thread somewhere?

I thought to bump this thread with this BBC website article.
According to this article there will be another prequel aside from The Hobbit. Will this prequel perhaps be a Silmarillion story? Must be. I just can't see anyone writing anything new to go before LoTR. Unless... Did Christopher perhaps sell the rights to film the new Narn i Hurin book before it's published?

Narn I Har Hurin would be the only viable option I can think of...it'll be interesting, though, since that one contains a bit of R-Rated material there...

*sigh*
... I suppose so. Maybe an episode then. After all: Gandalf, the Witch-King, Aragorn's line and Hobbits are all linked together by it.

As much as I would love to see Silmarillion movies... I cringe at the thought of how they'd create the Valar.
Whenever there's a mythology movie that comes out, they either totally keep the gods out of it or portray them with some sort of "heavenly" air about them. Don't want to see that happen to good ol' Manwe and Varda... though, I could think of a couple of great actors for them.

An offer...
If anyone would like to read it, I wrote a complete script. I'd be happy to invite a fellow fanatic to tear it to shreds.
