I've thought about that, too, Tar-Alcarin, and I think it would be great if they could take some of the major tales of The Silmarillion, write them in about as much detail as LOTR, and adapt them to movie form.<P>Like, "The Fall of Gondolin," "The Children of Hurin," "The Lay of Luthien," "The Voyage of Earendil," etc. Only problem is some of those have unhappy endings, so they might not be suitable for movies.<P>I doubt it'll happen, and I'm not completely sure I would want it to, but it would turn out very cool if they did it and did it right.
