Actually, it might be interesting to tell the Silmarillion in an episodic way, much like the original Heavy Metal movie links episodes with the glowing green ball that loosely ties them together theme wise. There would be the creation of the Silmarils, the crimes of Morgoth, then the Kinslaying and crossing, where we can tie into Beren and Luthien's tale concerning the Silmarillion quest for Thingol, then the war with the Dwarves over the Sil in the Nauglamir, then perhaps the final attacks made by the Sons of Fëanor to regain the jewels, the voyage of Earendil, the War of Wrath and how the jewels are finally lost. Leaves out a lot, but would be directly tied to the Silmarils themselves and provide a theme, on a longer timeline, much like following the history of the One Ring. Just a thought! Would probably take about 20 hours of screentime though! <P>Cheers,<BR>Lyta
