Maybe that's how they did that Bible mini series , I don't know I never watched that . But then I don't think anything Made for TV would have the budget to do it justice ... unless if HBO did it .

If he's not involved... maybe some things are best left to the imagination. Keep some wells pure to drink.

I am happy for this, I agree that the silmarillion would be destroyed by Jackson. Also, even after CT dies, there is a seventy year period after death in which the rights are withheld, and thats if he doesnt give them to someone else. So chances are we will not see a silmarillion movie for at least a hundred years.
I think our best hope is that making such films becomes more affordable as technology advances rapidly.
