>"Christopher Tolkien sort of edited and published other Tolkien books - the Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, I mean there's a lot more Tolkien writing, which would actually make great movies - that were subsequently edited by Christopher but he just absolutely would not let any, the mere idea of film happen so those rights have never been available

>But Christopher passed away recently, I suppose 2 or 3 years ago now and the younger Tolkiens, this next generation, are now running the estate and they're much more open to talking

>So a combination of Warner’s and us have been talking to some of the younger Tolkien members who are now part of the board about the possibility of actually licensing the rights to some of the other books. It would be nice to get away from the appendices and get something a bit more meaty."

Personally I feel quite depressed by the development but I am wondering if anyone is optimistic?

In CoH, Glaurung taunts Turin with titles like "slayer of your friend, thief of love".

He isn't omniscient as he initially doesn't know who Nienor is when he meets her. So how would he know about Beleg - whose death only Gwindor witnessed, or the situation with Finduilas - which is known to only her and Gwindor. It's not even clear whether Turin himself has realized by this point that Finduilas loves him, and this information is certainly not known widely.

So how would Glaurung know this? Was it a mind reading spell? If Glaurung can indeed read minds then surely Morgoth could have just used him to figure out the location of Gondolin very easily?
