Call me crazy, but I want a 14 hour epic of The Silmarillion...one movie, not a trilogy plz.

14 hours is way way way too long of a movie. Multiple movies or a series makes much more sense.

But yeah, that would be really cool.

Oh absolutely, no one will sit through an actual movie that long. A series of some would be the way to go for sure.

silmarillion is tv series material. every episode a mythic story, with some two-parters.
