The film-makers might be concerned about making The Hobbit too much of a LOTR-movie clone by starting off with a Fellowship-esque introduction. Maybe. Though, if they really are planning on making two films, an introduction will probably be necessary given the scope of the material covered.
I hope Beorn does not get cut, because I think he would translate very well as an on-screen character. I imagine he'd be rather popular. But, he isn't really a CRUCIAL part of the plot, so he may very well get the axe.
Ha ha. I just remembered the Hildebrandt picture of Beorn as I wrote that last line.
