Could (Should) the Simarillion become a film? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It would be an interesting project, but like all of you have said, there are too many stories to tell; not to mention the fact that it is severely long. It would be like making the Bible into a movie. Well, not quite, but the Silmarillion is essentially the Bible of Middle-Earth and so to try and document all of that into a film that would be under...ten hours would most likely be a faint hope.
