This might sound twisted, but you could probably make a really good dark movie out of Turin Turambar and Nienor Niniel - especially that last scene where Glaurung says "Hail, Nienor, daughter of Hurin." If you did it right it could be as good (and excruciating) as one of the Oedipus cycle plays. Though I'm not sure how you'd do Gurthang talking to Turin; probably a voiceover or something the way they did that distant, hissing voice for the Ring in FOTR.
