There are a lot of folks pushing for Peter Jackson to produce and direct The Hobbit. While that would be quite enjoyable, and we'd get to see more of a lot of the characters we've come to know through his other movies, it just wouldn't be all that much of a challenge, now would it? Although I'd sure like to see Smaug come to life.
But if Jackson decides to stay in the film world of Middle Earth, I'd much prefer to have him work his movie-making magic on The Silmarillion. That would be a challenge.
I'd actually prefer to see Jackson set his sights on the Thomas Covenant trilogy. He's put together a team that could do a good job on the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, and it's a story that deserves as much attention as the Ring cycle got.
