Hm. I like Huan too, but I'm a bit hesitant about putting anything from The Silmarillion into a movie... maybe this fight will be ok, as it is a fight, and fights could actually be done well.

I would love the idea of Christopher Tolkien releasing a novel version of Beren and Luthien, kind of like he did with Turin in The Children of Hurin. I think that's a story worth retelling in novel form

You know, I could imagine some student learning CG & Animation deciding to make a Fan-Film of this fight. It's localized (and potentially) short enough to be doable while still offering some room for a few actors to get in short cameos (even a nice "death" scene) if you start with Carcharoth biting at Beren's chest and end with Luthien weeping over Beren and telling him (his soul) to wait for her in Mandos. And in-between you can have your CG Wolf-Hound fight - complete with stalking, leaping, biting, slashing, baying & howling - an action-packed extravaganza.
