Possible Strange Changes to "The Hobbit" - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This is pure speculation, but I thought a thread trying to predict what changes will be made in the adaptation of The Hobbit would be fun. For instance, their plan to develop the White Council stuff will effect other parts of the book. Let us say then, that the part of Radagast the Brown is developed. Perhaps he is subbed in Beorn and they stay and Rhosgobel, but then he and Gandalf go off to the council meeting together. No one shows up to save Thorin from Bolg, but he dies either way and this time he is the one who slays the goblin king.

Pure nonsense, but given some of the ridiculous PJ changes (travelling to Osgiliath?) or the ideas he scrapped (having Annatar/Sauron fight Aragorn at the black gates? having Arwen at Helm's Deep?) its not impossible. What are your speculations or predictions along this line?
