If you're going to include Aragorn, Arwen, the White Council and everything it wouldn't be a separate story- it would just be a fourth Lord of the Rings movie.

I'd rather have it be just like the book and not include all the extra stuff. If PJ wants he can make a movie called "Aragorn" and have it follow old Strider from birth till death, or he can make "Olorin" and cover Gandalf and the Istari from beginning to end- but if PJ makes "The Hobbit" I want it to be "The Hobbit".

And why does everyone think there needs to be a love interest? There wasn't a love interest in the book but you still enjoyed it didn't you? Did anyone read the book and suddenly stop in the middle and notice, "Hey, there's not a love interest in this book"? The thought never even occurred to me. If the story is good then do you really notice or care if there is a love interest?

I think it'd be cool to see some of those extra things (Sauron in Dol Guldur, Aragorn in Gondor, etc) but honestly, after some of the sins PJ committed with LOTR I would just like to see him do a Tolkien book THE WAY IT WAS WRITTEN!!
