It would be possible if the "Bible like parts" where translated in something practical for the big screen. @Andacar, your very right.

All the people who have bought the books and fell in love with them after the movies came out. The movies IMHO are like really good commercials for the book. The silmarillion is like the old testament in scope and vision. I have always said that since it became my favorite book. They could only take out excerpts from it like the Alkallabeth and tell the story of Numennor because of all the sauron stuff and the Aragorn, White tree, Elendil, and "other stuff" connection. It is the closest connection to the LOTR trilogy and probally the furthest they could go back and still have everything make sense. You don't have to say why they have Andor just that they are there. As far as the ban goes it could be easily explained as an adam and eve don't eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God never says why he just says don't eat! I think the story of numenor is one of the most complete stories in the Silmarillion too. Plenty of money has made it to the Tolkien trust.

As a lover of the Silmarillion (I've read it many times as well as all the supplemental books) I'd love to see someone attempt to portray Valinor, Morgoth, and all the other enchanting visions of the book. On the other hand I am skeptical, as many of you are, that a book of this scope can successfully be brought to the screen. I imagine it would take several movies to do it right. The Silmarillion is not for everybody. It's like reading the Bible in places, and trying to keep track of the characters and their complex relationships defeats many readers. I'll be interested to see how this progresses. I am split on this one.

I think it would be perfect for a miniseries. There would be a definite ending in mind, but you have time and many episodes to cover characters and battles. Maybe HBO could take it on.

The sword Glamdring (The sword of Gandalf) found in the trolls lair is said to belong to the King of Gondolin (Turgon) for The Goblin Wars, and at some stage Durin is mentioned. Gandalf's trouble with The Necromancer of Dol Guldur turns out to be the White Council war with Sauron 77 years before the events of The War of the Ring.

Now that I have seen the movies and own all of them, I am fine with the Hobbit becoming the movie. But as for the Silmarillion, I would rather C. Tolkien get his way. I am a huge LOTR fan, and own most of the books about the series or that are apart of the series. To me The Silmarillion is the most dear to me, and though the movies were rather excellent, I would rather not take the chance of this fine bit of work to be sullied by minor inconsistencies.

I agree that the charity thing should be upheld, but I don't think JRR would want people deprived of the hobbit. erm, an autobiography is one you write yourself.

I thought the 2nd part of the hobbit movie was supposed to cover the period between the end of "The Hobbit" and the beginning of "The Lord of the Rings". As far as I can see that has almost nothing to do with the Silmarillion. Nonetheless I would be glad to see parts of the Silmarillion as a movie - for example the Turin Turambar saga or the story of Beren and Luthien. I don’t get it.
