Since we now know that Jackson is making The Hobbit into a trilogy of films, the obvious question to be asked is: what material from the appendices from The Lord of the Rings will be added to the original children's tale? And (more worryingly) what, if any, non-Tolkien material will be added?
There is a pretty good summary of likely additions here. For the most part, they sound just dandy to me -- especially the stuff on the White Council and the Battle of Dol Guldur. And I am ecstatic to learn that Christopher Lee is back as Saruman! (Thank you, Eru!) However, I'm not keen -- at all --- on the 'New Characters'.
Overall, though, I'm excited...
