The Silmarillion Series 
This is a great outline; it was brilliant to add the images and paintings detailing scenes that should be included in a TV series. I am a great fan of Tolkien’s work and I believe a tv series would be great, specially if they cover all the chapters and details that have been left out of Peter Jackson’s film (or any other films, like Ralph Bakshi’s). I loved the films, but now I long to see the scenes and characters we have never seen in the movies (like Bombadil, Glorfindel, Gan-Buri-Gan, etc…). I also did not like how Peter Jackson often diminished Gandalf by cutting out great scenes were he shows his power and leadership, like when they are attacked by wolves at Hollin – and Gandalf seems to grow and he lifts a great tree trunk and sets the whole place ablaze with fire-. Jackson even said he doesn’t like the idea of wizards solving things in movies; well, I sure would love to see Gandalf doing some things the books say he did; that’s what films are good for, to let us see things we don’t get to see in everyday life.

Thanks!
Jackson film fans always talk about a Silmarillion movie, but I think the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit barely lent themselves to a movie form. A TV Series could cover all of Tolkien’s work faithfully, without having to remove characters and scenes like the films did, or add pointless CGI garbage for a juvenile audience,

I agree, a TV Series would be the ideal thing.
