re: Laundry list of LOTR questions

Hasn't there been some Hollywood talk of making a few movies out of Silmarillion?

There are always rumblings, but there's rights issues with it (Christopher actually finished it and got it published, so it wasn't subject to the same agreements his father had agreed to before he died.

Also, while it is ripe for some epic scenes, it would be damned difficult to actually adapt it to the big screen because it is not a cohesive narrative, but a collection of stories. I would imagine Amazon could do something like they are doing with LOTR (which as I understand it is Second/early Third Age LINK / )
