Jackson has had discussions about the filming rights with the Tolkien estate and it seems that it could actually happen.

Could be great, could be awful, depending if it would go the LOTR or The Hobbit way.

This is one of the few cases where I'd be happy with splitting the book into multiple films. A film for each of the 4 epics of the first age: the creation myth up through the War of Wrath, Beren and Lúthien, the Children of Húrin, and the Fall of Gondolin (with an epilogue showing the sinking of Beleriand and the founding of Númenor).

I just hope they get Galadriel right this time and show her as the timeless badass she really is, instead of the whiny child she comes off as in Rings of Power
