Get. Over. Bombadil.
It was difficult enough, in this day and age, to keep people from giggling at lines such as Randal’s in Clerks 2:
“…when Sam pokes his head in through the door and gives Frodo that REALLY gay look…”
without having Tommy B. fruit it up with the hairy-foot’ed children.
I’m a diehard LOTR, the books specifically, but don’t doubt for a second that Jackson and the rest of that writing team read the story thoroughly. There was too much put into and highlighted by the movies that proves that. The exclusion of certain characters and events is mostly the effect of the necessity to drive the sales and keep audience attention.

Turkish: del Toro is a wonderful storyteller that knows the tricks of the trade. He’ll do fine.

I hope this time Peter Jackson reads the book several times BEFORE he starts to work on the film.
Last time he left Tom Bombadil out ffrom the film. Who will he leave out this time? Smaug or Bard?

I have no idea what the exact arrangement was, but if Mr. Tolkien is entitled to a payment, he should receive it. Also, there is a considerable amount of material pertaining specifically to the Quest of Erebor that was published by Christopher after JRRT’s death, not included in The Hobbit itself.

For example: debates at the White Council; details of Saruman’s search for the Ring; details of Thror’s fate; the reasons Gandalf and the dwarves appeared at Bilbo’s door; and the conversation that occurred between Galdalf and Thorin in Bag End while Bilbo slept.

the Silmarillion did NOT take place after Bilbo returned to the Shire with the Ring, it takes place in the 1st age, when Morgoth himself strode the Earth. It starts with Iluvatar creating the Valar and Ea (the universe/Earth). This is all a few thousand years before the events in The Hobbit.
