To me this is turning out to be an Ancient Fantasy "Star Wars". Just think about it; three movies were made and some fanatic who loved the trilogy decides to film the past history of some of the characters in the movies. What if you put "Star Wars" I, II, & III together? It would probably turn out as complicating as the Simarillion. Just act as if the Simarillion is more than one book, make a few movies, and it should turn out alright. Just make sure you show some of the same characters in all the movies so the audience doesn't think it's the beginning to a whole new story line.
