Notes -
It's too disjointed a narrative to work as one story (either on film or on tv), but I could see movies or series being made out of particular vignettes that are loosely connected. I could definitely see adaptations of the stories of Beren and Luthien, Turin Turambar, Earendil and the War of Wrath, etc. at some point down the road.
Beren amd Luthien is the only story in the Silmarillion with enough meat on its bones to really fill out a movie or tv show script. That, combined with the obvious through-line to Aragorn and Arwen and the fact that it's the only Silmarillion sub-story with 4-quadrant appeal, means it's by far the most likely to get an adaptation any time soon.
