Just pick the strongest stories out of it and film them. Beren and Luthien, for example, would expand to a 2 - 2.5 hour movie handily. (Urg. Unintentional pun there.)

Of course, that's not what they mean. And if they did make it, it'd be totally incomprehensible. But as someone who likes the SIlmarillion much more than the LotR, that'd be fun to see...
