How much do we know about del Toro's intentions? All we really know is that when PJ took over, he scrapped everything, even the props and costumes. Has there been a leak of even a treatment or plot outline?
At least some questions could be answered by casting dates, if we know them. When were invented roles like Tauriel, Azog, Alfrid and Bard's wife cast? When were Bloom, Blanchett and Lee invited back?
We know that GdT was also one of the writers, alongside Jackson, Boyens and Walsh.
We know that the early plans were for two films: one would have been a direct adaptation of The Hobbit; the other would have been the so-called 'bridge film'. Those plans morphed into a two-part adaptation of the book.
Early casting calls included the precursor to Tauriel: a young female Wood-elf called ITARIL. This was when it was rumored that Saoirse Ronan was being considered for the role. There was also a call for an ELF WARRIOR (an ELF-LORD OF RIVENDELL) who would have been a romantic interest for ITARIL. Other characters at that time included PRIMULA BRANDYBUCK and DROGO. The original description for BARD described him as "married with a young son".
There was a six-foot tall maquette made of del Toro's version of Smaug. I wold love to get a good look at that!
