Because they will need to cut out certain characters from the Hobbit-book due to time restrictions, such as Tom Bombadil and Farmer Giles, I think it would be sweet if they incorporated their traits into the character of Smaug. This would really add to the projected post-modern rendition of the dragon and give the story a much needed injection of relevance.

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