I can't wait till they make The Silmarillion into a movie.
They're not going to. First of all the copyright holder which is Christopher Tolkien will not give permission to Peter Jackson to make a movie from it because he did not like how LoTR or The Hobbit turned out. Plus there is some issues with New Line Cinema owing 80 mil of unpaid royalties to Tolkien. Second of all, it is complex. They could make a movie out of the stories from it. Or a TV series. Which would be better.
