The Silmarillion is truly epic and tragic at the same time. There is enough information in there to make one movie a year for the next 20 years. I don't think HBO would work due to the large scale battles that take place during the war of jewels. But showing the history of Arda and the Valar would be amazing if done right. Morgoth was a bad mofo and Sauron was his right hand man. It can be a hard book to read, but there is soooo many good stories in there that it's worth the effort.
Jackson did mention once that he would love to explore more of Tolkien's work, but the Silmarillion belongs to the Tolkien estate and apparently those people are huge dicks.

Sauron was Morgoth's bitch.
Yeah, this seems to be the case. That's why they did an end-around with the ROTK appendices stuff in The Hobbit, which includes some Silmarillion info.

i'd settle for a CGI animated series if it were done in a mature manner. if they want to make it for kids, i'd just as soon pass

It's actually my favorite Tolkien book but there is no way that it would work on film, or television. Oh well, a man can hope that it will one day be given the film treatment.
