Sometimes I forget there are people who don't read Deadline, THR, and Variety every day.

Tolkien Estate needed more money after The Hobbit films cash ran out, I guess.

They just published the third Simarillion story full book and a return to LOTR is what they're prioritising? Ugh.

The Tolkien Estate is pretty terrible, but I don't think adapting the Silmarillion (which I love) would be a good idea at all. A LOTR TV show doesn't sound like a great idea either, but it has more potential I'd say.

But there's three sort-of-novels that have been written out of the Silmarilion already. I'm not talking about the full book.

Written ? I thought they were just extracted from it. Is there new material in there ?

Christopher Tolkien took a bunch of old notes and finished up the stories. I quite liked Children of Hurin but I haven't read the other two.

Huh, I saw "The Children of Hurin" and assumed it was simply isolated from the rest of the Silmarillion. I thought that story was pretty complete in the first place.

They all have different structures but they're definitely all more than the excerpts from the Silmarillion.
