The Silmarillion would be filmable if you used the extant material as a story outline and just wrote the damn screenplay. Screenplays, because it's that long. It's not even a proper novel, it would need a lot of adaptation.

And then the purists' heads would explode and the fandom would devour its own intestines.

Even apart from exploding heads and What Is Clearly The Right Interpretation of X and Y And What Is Wrong, one of the things I love about the Silmarillion is that there is no screenplay, no one version of what happened and how characters felt, and what they said etc. (except maybe for The Children of Húrin). I like to read various interpretations. And sometimes I want to eat a fellow fan's intestines because clearly are Wrong and I am Right (in my opinion) but that's part of the fun and I don't actually eat people's intestines anyway.

I once heard someone say that the Silmarillion ought to be done as something similar to the Animatrix - a series of short films by different people.

This someone you're quoting has a very interesting point. It'd make perfect sense; the book itself is an amalgamation of different stories written throughout many years with different focal points and a very varied cast. The possibilities! *shiny eyes*

I didn't realise how much I wanted this until I read your comment. I hope somebody who's in the position to make this actually happen hears of this anthology approach :(
