Maybe he could wear big yellow boots and have a pet dog - why not?

That's hilarious.
If Smaug is going to be like Tom Bombadill, then maybe Bilbo will accidentally kill Goldberry, and that's what causes Smaug to snap and attack those murderous Lake Men of Laketown.

Well if Goldberry is going to be evil, then she can fake her own death to get Smaug to leave the cave. When Smaug leaves in a frenzy, she can then try to force Bilbo to give her the ring so that she can conquer Middle Earth.
And to really make this movie contemporary, Peter Jackson will add a few musical sequences. Singing and dancing ad nauseam is so in vogue now for some reason.
