Allow me to be just as clear in the hope we can better mutually understand each others positions.
Based on what you know, both of the Tolkien film rights situation, the writings of JRRT, the holdings of the Estate, and the law itself, could the current film rights holders of both THE HOBBIT and LOTR make a film in which the following happened or is depicted under the title Tales of the Silmarallion:
- Feanor is shown to be the greatest of the Eldar making the Silmarils filling them with the radiance of the Two Trees
- Morgoth stealing the Silmarils
-Morgoth destroying the Two Trees by poisoning them
- Morgoth retreating to his great fortress of Thangorodrim with the Silmarils
- Feanor leading his people into exile
- War between the Eldar and Edain against Morgoth and his forces
- the defeat of the Eldar and Edain
- the union of Beren and Luthien and their lineage
-Beren and Luthien steal a Silmaril from the Iron Crown of Morgoth
-Luthien becomes mortal and gives birth to Dior
-the city of Gondolin with Turgon as its king
-the wedding of Earendil to Elwing
-the overthrow of Morgoth
-the ship of Earendil is set into the heavens
That would seem more than enough for one film.
Would the current rights holder of film rights to LOTR have the right to include those events or character depictions?
You asked me to be specific and thats really specific.
