The Pukelmen did not make the cartoon or the radio drama and thus were not in the live action film.

Yes they were. They weren't mentioned in dialogue, but they were there, sitting at the road-turnings.

And del Toro has said (someplace) how wonderful he thinks the Riddle chapter is.

Help me out here. They are in the Rankin-Bass RotK?

No, the New Line version.

Appy polly loggies. I incorrectly said Pukel-men, when I indeed should have referred to Woses or Druedain under Ghan-buri-ghan and the two of you jumped on the fact that Jackson did include the statues of the Pukel-men, who are thought to be ancestors of the group which I intended to discuss. Thanks, guys.

How about the stone giants? In the graphic novel of the Hobbit and the video game, they are portrayed. Doubtless they have no place in the land of PJ.

You could do the Giants causing the storm and make it realistic if you showed them as part of clouds, tricks of lighting and lightning, that are more in the mind of the viewer than 100% actual giant throwing boulders around.

And how will Gollum be integrated in movie?
Perhaps Gollum reliving in his mind his coming
to the Misty Mountains as he hears Bilbo
coming to his lake (ala the extended dvd).
And the movie could end with Gollum coming out
of the mountains and start searching for the
precious (and even seeing Gandalf and Bilbo
afar off returning to Erebor).

Unless it was Giants who attempted to thwart The Fellowship as they traveled through Caradhras. Mind you, that wouldn't be PJ's world, but you get the point.

I just hope we are spared endless cameos of the Jackson children

I doubt that they will lose the Master of Laketown because it is such a wonderful cameo for a big name actor - and given that it would only require a couple of scenes just about any name htey wanted could probably fit it in to their schedule. I can think of about 20 actors who could do it wonderfully - not the same way necessarily but who in their own way could really bring this character to life.
