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.

    These two would be the obvious choices, being the stories where the characters even actually do get some characterizatization.

    The big problem with the film adaptations would be laying out the setting of the First Age properly to audiences who would not be familiar with the story. It would need a lot of worldbuilding to get it right.

    The Silmarillion is my favourite book and I would love to see it done right. There is hope, even if it is slim.
