Never. It would be shit since that book is a fucking mess.
Also I can't think of anything more anticlimactic than having one of the iconic dark lords of cinema job against a dog and a dragon the size of a mountain chain be defeated by a boat.

what the FUCK does that thing eat to survive? mountains?

That's like asking for a Bible adaptation. There's far too much stuff happening through far too much time. You should ask for specific events instead.

Imagine the smell

Still it can be done, it just needs a narrator and the series overall would feel like an old school fantasy show. Modern audiences will not like it though. It's the one way to faithfully adapt it.

The Children of Hurin would make for a great movie.

wow, that dragon is huge. Tolkien just made that up, just like that? what a genius. game of thrones-normies can't even comprehend the level of genius it takes to write:
the dragon was 100 times bigger than the other dragons.
amazing.

what did he mean by this?

>...in the beggining
It's exclusively about the Genesis, user. Barely a small fraction of the Bible itself.

still it covers the creation, Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah's Ark, the tower of Babel, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the story of Abraham.

Hopefully never.

The Silmarillion:
A Film by Ken Burns

Wow...

This is more accurate, lot of hyperbole in ancient legends

aint no way big black dragon that smol

Where does that gigantic dragon live? On middle earth or some other place? Is it like a deity or is it supposed to be mortal?

The "dog" was a horse-sized beast booted to level 9001 by a literal god and was aided by a half-maia and a dude bad enough to rescue the president.

Also the "flying boat" may have been a capital starship for all we know, this is a not-Medieval (if even that) civilization recording things thousands of years after the fact, embellishing things to make them sound more ebin, and something probably was lost in the translation too.

The whole idea of Silmarillion is that you cannot take all things in it literally, it's a myth, not a history book.

He should be wearing Texas on a chain around his neck.

hence why it should not be adapted

Like the balrogs he lived in the depths of earth where satan nurtured it with his evil and made it grow.
Also the portion of middle earth where he lived got obliterated and hasn't existed for millenia by the time the events of lotr take place.
It is mortal.

>hence why it should not be adapted

It would work as a musical.

Daily reminder that the only people who think Ancalagon is that big are people who havent read the book
