Hi guys,

I am a huge LOTR fan just like many of you and I strongly support Peter Jackson. Some of you may not in fact many people don't like the new Hobbit movies but many people to and love to see Jackson's movie magic especially in The Lord of the Rings universe . I would love to see the Silmarillion in a movie format because as good as the book is I love to see all the action and beautiful places on the big screen. Also it would give the back story to all of the other series of movies that are out. Over all I think if any director should get the honor of doing it it should be Jackson and hopefully it will be soon!



Also I know why they haven't as of yet because of the plot of the movies and payment discrepancies but the fans REALLY want something to fulfill their LOTR cravings and I hope you won't let us down!

The momentum behind this plea proves that the Tolkien estate can no longer ignore the massive audience waiting for Peter Jackson to handle this material. We are forcing them to look at the undeniable demand for a real adaptation instead of keeping these stories locked away in a vault.

This book translated into a movie would be epic! It would also give a book that a lot of people don't know about the recognition that it deserves! Peter Jackson has done so much justice to the Tolkein universe, one a very small sect in book to film history.

Please offer the rights to Peter Jackson. I have enjoyed the books and movies more than any form of entertainment out there, ever. This would be a perfect way to conclude such a beautiful story.

I believe the Silmarillion would make a great serie of movies. It would be difficult to split the story into parts that make sense and follow up. I don't mind who directs this movie while Tolkien Estate comes to an agreement with that director (producer, etc.) about the content of the movie and the finances. Tolkien fans will like this movie and it will probably be a huge hit in the public if they know that it is the prequel to all. I recommend Peter Jackson, although it seems that Tolkien Estate did not like his representation and that he doesn't seem like he would be up to it. The reason I recommend him is that he has been the only one to make this real and I believe he is exceptional. Others would have probably made it worse. I believe he has done his best with what he had.
