The Shire

Sounds great -- and I expected the film to spend a while in Bag End prior to the journey -- think of how long it took to get out of the Shire in FotR. One thing I wonder about, since someone on Twitter said yesterday that they wanted to get to know Bilbo more early on in the film, what will the focus be on? Substantial dwarvish history, flashbacks? Very intriguing.
