A point about the White Council attacking Dol Guldur
|
Can't Post
|
|
I've seen some people suggest this event may take place in the 3rd film, or be placed after Smaug's attack on Laketown.
In the timeline, the White Council attacks Dol Guldur within the same month that Bilbo finds the one ring. It is a few months later when Smaug attacks Laketown and is killed.
Now obviously Peter Jackson could change things around. No one really knows what he is going to do until we see the film. But I strongly suspect we will see the White Council attack Dol Guldur in the 2nd film, and that it will happen before Smaug is killed off.

Knowing PJ, I imagine the timing of the assualt on Dol Guldur will not at all be influenced by the book's timeline.

Considering that even the time when the Necromancer established himself in Mirkwood is changed...

It's going to be a balancing act of action and exposition

I am inclined to agree. There is a LOT to cover as it is.

Basically, you are giving the exact reasons why I find the Smaug-prologue a terrible idea.

Huge agreement on the dissapointment. Especially about Glorfindel and Cirdan.
