Please God I beg of you: Don’t let Peter Jackson turn it into a nine hour mess like he did the Hobbit.

The Silmarillion: one of the very few books that defeated me. Just couldn’t make myself finish it.
And, call me a weirdo, but I actually liked The Hobbit better than The Lord of the Rings.

The story of Turin has already been told in the Silmarillion and in a separate book (it was better in the Silmarillion). don’t need an early prototype. And as someone above noted, it could tempt Peter Jackson to make some more dreadful movies.
