Forums: Index > Fellowship > Will Peter Jackson ever make The Silmarillion ?



We all know that long before the adventures of Bilbo and Frodo the elves were at war with Melkor in The Silmarillion and I was wondering if Peter Jackson or anyone else had intentions on making a film for the book.

  • Not in the forseeable future. The Tolkien Estate currently has no intentions of giving away legal rights to The Silmarillion. PersonUsingAComputer (talk) 21:14, November 20, 2014 (UTC)
  • I agree with what PersonUsingAComputer said. But it would be great if Peter Jackson did made a Silmarillion movie! ---Prince of Erebor, King Under the Mountain(Reply Press Here)
  • I can see a BUNCH of movies being made from The Silmarillion. He was able to make three movies from The Hobbit. Gringo300 (talk) 10:28, September 26, 2015 (UTC)
  • In response to PersonUsingAComputer - thank the lord.
  • In response to Gringo, you're right, and all three of those movies did not live up to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. (It's a long explanation, but they definitely are worse films.) And so it would be strange if PJ were to then make a Silmarillion series that is legitimately serious and masterfully made like LOTR was.  HiddenVale - HV logo TalkPage 18:02, July 15, 2016 (UTC)
