Oh, boy.

Don't get me wrong, though. I loved Jackson's LOTR trilogy and own (and watched) the extended editions of all three films. I just assumed they would stick with the main story for this one (and the focus being on Bilbo and his POV). But I guess it's probably the only way they'll be able to include some of the other events, since I sincerely doubt they'll pull off a film version of The Silmarillion (or any other Tolkien works) any time soon.
