As much as I would like to see live action Silmarillion, it would probably be the most expensive tv show of all time. Many epic scenes can't possibly be shot for real so the show would require odious amounts of CGI. Heck at this point, hire a studio that makes video game trailers and turn the whole thing into a 50+ hours CGI tv show.

Silmarillion as done by Blur Studios would be incredible.

Yep, imagine the Valar and Melkor raising and leveling mountains on screen (the very early periods of Arda). Brrrr, that would be epic.
