There are other possibilities for movies, that I'm surprised no one in
Hollywood has apparently hit on yet. Given the popularity and $$$
making of some children's films, why not movies (live, animated, or
perhaps the process used in "The Polar Express") for Roverandom and
The Father Christmas Letters. This would also make for a sort of piggybacking
on the popularity of LOTR films and would make for an interesting holiday
movie.

Hey, now, there's an idea! Now why didn't I think of that?...

There is also Ancanar, which is not Tolkien, but has a definite Tolkien flavor to it.

I would not be too surprised to see an attempt to make a movie out of the Sil, or at least part of the Sil.

However, I'm not sure it would be worth watching.
