Is Peter Jackson making a movie of it?
I want to see the Children of Huron or The Silmarillion
Somebody should make a movie of it. The story is simple, short and bloody, and would make a great movie.
That said, you can see that it was Tolkien’s inspiration for many things in the LOTR.
It will be interesting to see his translation.
I'm sure it will be a 4-part epic, and the fight with Grendels' mother will take up two of the movies. You just can't get too much of a good action scene. 5 or 6 hours ought to be sufficient for that particular part of the story.
