The Silmarillion isn't the right material for a movie. It's more suited to a three or four part drama, which is how I'm planning it at the moment. I've seen a lot of great adaptations, all made into fantasy/entertainment dramas of two lengthy parts, and I see the Sil. as being successful in the same style.

Yes, I saw this as well. I doubt it will interest companies enough to pick up on it. The biggest problem is the fact that it has no main character or characters in it during the whole story. And, many of the sub-plots are as long as most movies in the first place.
So, I'm looking at a low-budget business here, but I refuse to do a bad job of it.
