I'd rather don't have it adapted at all than having another half hearted attempt at staying relevant by Jackson. But even if someone new would take over, I still dread the result.

Not everything has to be made into a movie. I hope this project will never become reality.
 
Not only that, but other reports are saying that Peter Jackson will be helming a movie based on The Silmarillion.

Hmm. What other reports?

As far as I know, at the moment no one has the legal right to make a Filmarillion, which is why
The Rings Of Power, for example, has been limited to the relatively brief descriptions of the First
and Second Ages found in the Appendices to (or elsewhere in) The Lord of the Rings.

And for what it's worth, as of today at least, the official Tolkien Estate website FAQ reads:
"While understanding the wish of many fans to see a film of The Silmarillion, the Tolkien Estate has no current plans for any such motion picture."

Just guessing: I wouldn't be surprised if Christopher Tolkien had something drawn up in his will
for the Estate to keep the rights to The Silmarillion as long as possible.

Although I'm no lawyer, and no judge --
but if that's possible and legal, again, it
would not surprise me!
