If the movie gets made in the next 5 years, there will need to be at least some changes from the book narrative to make it blend with Jackson's existing trilogy. Obviously casting will be quite different, although Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis (as Gollum) and Hugo Weaving are nearly a must at this point.
In terms of the story. I've often wondered if we will see some of the White Council discussions about the Necromancer. Maybe a little more of that subplot, to give the movie a "foreshadowing" of events in LOTR.
Maybe we'll even get to see some kind of flashback of Thrain and Gandalf in Dol Guldur? It might be a distraction from the simpler linear story line, but it would be great to see that in an Extended Hobbit edition.
I think that those would be really cool to have in the movie. I would LOVE to see what the White Council and something about the Necromancer. And it would be really neat to see Thorin's father! Even if he would be nearly dead... but it would be so cool.
