Could (Should) the Simarillion become a film?

[aleesa]

As much as I'd love to see Beren and Luthien or the tale of Turin Turambar on screen, I think it would be pretty hard to turn the Sil into a movie. Tv series... maybe... but there's so many characters and stories that it might be confusing to people who haven't read the book. Actually, there are a handful of people i know who did not like the Sil and thought it was boring because of the many characters. But the idea of using Galadriel as the main character and telling her side of the story might not be that bad.
