A new view of Smaug?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

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?

I trust that if Smaug and Tom Bombadil are to be combined the Smaugadil hybrid will still get to keep Goldberry...with a few tweaks, obviously...she will now be a "misunderstood" necromantic-pyromancer called Deathberry, probably played by Megan Fox.

(Lends a whole new meaning to the concept of a smokin' hot wife...)

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.
