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.
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.
