Why Hasn’t the Tolkien Estate Sold the Rights to Adapt the Silmarillion?
After the “Hunt for Gollum” movie announcement, I notice more than one person asking why the Tolkien Estate hasn’t sold the rights to the Silmarillion yet. It seems like a natural enough question following the death of Christopher Tolkien, but there are still plenty of obstacles to such a move.
Want to know about that atrocious John Boorman LOTR script? Here are my videos on it:

For good measure, here I talk about JRR Tolkien’s comments on another script he hated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMLLIFb_Pe8
