A very cool article!! The guy that wrote it is obviously a Tolkien scholar... As much as many of us would LOVE to see a movie like this, dealing with the pre history of middle earth and LOTR, I can't see it ever happening. The movie industry is, at it's base, all about money. The LOTR trilogy had HUGE earning potential, which is why it finally got done properly. Unfotunately, I don't see much interest in this type of story by the general population, so I can't see Hollywood putting much money into the development of the story and the movie... At least not while there's another Harry Potter movie to be made... lol.
