Based on all ideas, I created a list of all events ordered by their possible appearance on the screen. Part one: Aragorn's birth, and rise from orphaned heir of the Dunedain and Elrond's ward Introduction to Gandalf and Bilbo Introduction to the dwarf kingdoms introduction to Gondor Gandalf's discovery of Aragorn Gandalf's preparation of Middle-earth for a conflict with the newly risen dark lord. the fall of Osgiliath The whole adventure of Bilbo The White Council meets to discuss The Necromancer Introduction to the elven kingdoms The battle of the five armies part two: Gollum leaves the mountain, searching for the “thief” Baggins. Balin leave for Moria Aragorn searches the wilds for Gollum. Legolas and Gimli's rise to representing their fathers Aragorn visits Moria and Harad, and maybe Rohan and Gondor and Umbar. Balin and his attempt to recapture the Mines of Moria from the Orcs More about the life in Lorien and Haldir's role More about Rohan The White Council (including Saruman and Gandalf) attack The Necromancer’s stronghold at Dol Guldur. Boromir's counteroffensive to retake Osgiliath Aragorn’s engagement to Arwen. show the growing power of Mordor Saruman's fall from grace beginning Introduction to Frodo and the other hobbits and maybe to the other younger LOTR people I can understand the concern of the lack of an actual text. But watching LOTR movies, I noticed that they used lots of text from one book, in a scene from another book. This trend can be certainly used in the Hobbit as well. Since it is a movie adaption, the power of the words are relative to the person, not to the time happening. And the LOTR books are full of text referencing the period before the time of LOTR. At the end of the day, the real power lays in the hands of the right scriptwriter and his knowledge of the characters.

What does a “sequel” mean?

It depends on who the movie follows

A two or three-hour film adapted from a couple thousand words?

Aragorn/Thorongil would have to be the focal point, I judge.

Would that influence the Hobbit?

No romance. And Gandalf did most of that

You make a good case for a broader approach.
