The movie will end at the Grey Havens, it has already been disclosed.

In the movies, Aragorn is obviously the main character, and the hobbits take a more passive role. In the books, Tolkien did not even know Aragorn was going to be a character until he was halfway done with the Fellowship. And Strider was originally to be a hobbit named Trotter! Although Aragorn was developed well in the books, he was never made into the main figure, and everything was still told from the hobbits' point of view.
