The Silmarillion, one of JRR Tolkien's lesser-known works, spans the length of Middle-Earth's history, from it's creation by the gods to the aftermath of the War of the Ring, and has often been described as "virtually impossible to ever put to film" by a number of people, including fans of the book. However, with Peter Jackson now having had two Middle-Earth trilogies under his belt, the question arises on whether he would be capable of bringing such a story to the big screen.
As a fan of both the book itself and Jackson's other Tolkien films, the idea is certainly appealing to me. But, I'd like to know what others think of the idea. So, if PJ were to try and adapt the Silmarillion, either into a single film or giving it a whole film series (to give the many stories of the book room to breathe), would you watch it?
