I am stoked. The First movie about the Silmarillion is coming at 2018. The titel of the first movie will be: "Ainulindalë" Read here. Official news door Peter Jackson and New Line that the Silmarillion will be made into a series of movies.
Ian McKellen will again take up the robes of Gandalf the Wizard in the cinematic adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy classic "The Hobbit". It's not final, but it's news.
This is an amazing site. Im constantly on it. Full of images, information about Tolkien and his books, loads about the movie winning Trilogy and the actors in it. Tis jam packed and has an Encyclopedia and a forum [which has a book club in it!]
No script, no Peter Jackson and not much else is known, but New Line says there will be a movie in 2009. Rumors suggest Spiderman director Sam Raimi may take the helm.
