My guess: Desolation of Smaug "where the action is"
|
Can't Post
|
|
Thinking about it, there is SO much going on from the Eagle rescue to Smaug's death - that whole passage in the story easily warrants a good 2-3 hours of it's own, even without White Council/flashback material. In fact, with added White Council, I bet DOS will be around 3 hours long. And we don't even know for sure if it's going to end with the demise of Smaug! Even if it would end, let's say, around where Smaug leaves The Lonely Mountain and Bilbo & company starts looting the treasure, we have loads of material to cover: 1. Eagle-rescue aftermath 2. Beorn! 3. Farewell to Beorn - edge of Mirkwood 4. The whole Mirkwood passage, the river drama, the starvation, etc. 5. Dwarves captured, introduction of wood-elves culture, and Legolas, Thranduil and Tauriel. 6. Barrels out of Bond. 7. Arrival to Laketown 8. Introduction of Laketown culture and the Master, Bard and Alfrid. 9. Farewell to Laketown, into the "desolation" 10. Scouting the area, eventually finding the secret entrance. 11. Bilbo seeing Smaug for the first time, stealing a cup. 12. Smaug's wrath 13. Bilbo's second meeting in which he is spotted and has a long conversation with Smaug. 14. Smaug leaving the Lonely Mountain. 15. Bilbo & dwarves starts going through all the treasure and exploring the mountain. 16. Smaug attacking Laketown. 17. Smaug dies. + ? White Council errands ? Radagast ? Dwarven flashbacks The way I see it, the real "meat" of the story probably takes place in DOS, and not AUJ or TABA. Granted, some of this is speculation as we don't know for certain when it will end, or how much sideplot is going to take place, but still!
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.

Smaug must be in film 2, his name is in the title

Agreed DoS will have much more going on than AUJ...however, based on what we know, I'd see something more akin to this unfolding:
