That would make a great prologue... although I would like it to be told by Ian Holm... since they started the Bilbo/Frodo story-telling I would like them at least stick with it now, although Frodo was pure EE for me. They could actually stop the prologue BEFORE the Gandalf / Thrain part and first cut back to Thorin and company, possibly with Thorin starring at the key. Then Gandalf tells the rest of the tale in Beorn's house (the confrontation between Gandalf and Thrain in Dol Guldur). Somehow I have the feeling though that we would have heard about an actor cast as Durin by now... so I could also live with the story of Durin explained in some sentences while the story of crazed Thrain is told.
“A dragon is no idle fancy. Whatever may be his origins, in fact or invention, the dragon in legend is a potent creation of men’s imagination, richer in significance than his barrow is in gold.” J.R.R. Tolkien Words of wisdom that should be remembered - both by critics, purists and anyone in between.

Durin's Ring, Durin's Bane, Durin's Folk, the malice of The Enemy, The Ring of Thrain, and amazing flashback potential

I have always thought it was very powerful stuff, but I think it is much more relevant

Too late for that. They already veered off into miles of made up BS, they could at least give the real awesome bits

Exactly. Durin has been mentioned. . . ALOT. It would add HUGE resonance to the films as a whole

He just wasn't. The film didn't have to include him any more than the book does.

I would also add that, if they were going to be pure Hobbit movies, no Dwarf history etc., there was no point in 3 films, save the worst

It isn't too late. Among other things, Azog's survival has yet to be explained, nor why

It is a powerful moment, that is true. In a vaccum though, particularly with the matter of Moria raised
