First, I think that a movie of the Silmarillion would be nearly impossible to make.<P>Second, if it ever was attempted, I think that it should focus on the Elves, starting at their waking at Lake Cuivienen, the Great Journey, all the way to the War of Wrath. But the problem would lie in that while focusing on the Elves, you are neglecting the Humans and thus have to incorporate the heritage of Earendil somewhere in the movie.<P>Third, I think that the movie should always follow the book, not something similar to what Peter Jackson did with Faramir in TTT.
