Peter Jackson has revealed that he is in talks to adapt further works by author J.R.R. Tolkien, including 'The Silmarillion'

Jackson has had discussions about the filming rights with the Tolkien estate and it seems that it could actually happen.

Could be great, could be awful, depending if it would go the LOTR or The Hobbit way.

    The problem is that this will always be too complicated for your average movie goer. LOTR works because it has big, epic set pieces which all connect via a handful of characters. The would-be silmarillion equivalents have a lot of shaky continuity which would require a lot of interpolation if told from the ground up.
