i reckon the silmarillion would work as a TV series,a season for each story.just look at game of thrones,i dont see why the silmarillion could not work in that format.

As I recall, the Silmarillion did not have nearly enough gratuitous sex and violence to warrant its own series on premium cable. At least not without heavy re-writes using that guy from the SNL skit.
