Well...yes of course. But is it a bad crazy?
Compare the Lord of the Rings to the Hobbit when it comes out.
I guarantee that darkness and large scale warfare of the Lord of the Rings added an epic tune that the Hobbit won't necessarily have. Like the books, the Lord of the Rings is more epic, the Hobbit is more fantastic, if that makes any sense. Think of it as being more suited for Disney.
The entire Simmerillion has the LOTR epicness x100 because it is the entire creation and evolution of Arda. The coming and reckoning of three ages, as opposed to the coming of the age of Men and the reckoning of the age of Elves.

Sir Peter says the Hobbit movies will probably be the last of his ventures in Middle Earth.

Those bastards!! Nothing will come in the way of my 25 Simmerillion Films!!! 800,000,000 dollars for 95 hours of Peter Jackson's Tolkien epicness!!!!
Think of all the RTS games they could make from this film, wayyy bigger and better than Battle for Middle Earth II.
I will not accept this New Zealand, I don't give a flying **** about whatever movies you want to make! You better ****ing give Peter Jackson three decades in that beautiful paradise of a land to make his Silmerillion films, or else! **** you.
Sorry.
On top of New Zealand...
Tolkien's family, the ones who wrote the Silmarillion and own it's rights, REFUSE to give Pete the rights because they're senile old FRICKS.
On top of that, Peter said he didn't want to film until he's 100 years old, why not? I would!!!

Sounds like what the Australian Film Industry is like.
I suppose if it were a mini-series, it could work. Like, hour and a half to two hour segments... but I haven't read the book, just know about it, so I don't know if it could be broken down like that. Or if each "episode" could be about "one thing," like one part could be about wizards and all the things J R R Tolkien imagined about them... their origins, their training... etc.

There were only five of them. Eru or Manwe or some other being of the Valor or Ainor created them to combat the growing threat of Sauron, the servant of Morgoth after Morgoth was sent into the void of Ea - erased from Arda never to return until Tolkien's equivalent of Ragnorak.
Anyway it was Saruman the White, Gandalf the Grey, a Brown Wizard, and two Blue Wizards, hierarchy in that order.
