Actually, Aragorn was ten at the time of The Hobbit. The Quest of Erebor took place in 2941; 'Gorn was born in 2931 on March 1. The Quest of the Ring was seventy-seven years after Erebor, in 3018-19, with Aragorn being 87 when it began and 88 by the time it ended.
I still don't think a prologue is a good idea. It's too LOTR-ish, and I really don't think the material merits one. This is a far more simple story than LOTR (at least it will be if they don't show a bunch of White Council stuff), and it needs to be treated as such.
I cannot wait to hear Howard Shore's score for The Hobbit. The Shire theme, one or both of Gollum's themes, and the Rivendell theme will be back, but everything else will be new. I want an Erebor/Dwarf theme, a new Goblin/Orc theme, a Smaug theme, and a Bard/Laketown theme. Okay, I'm selfish, but I cannot stand how great the LOTR soundtracks are, and I have GOT to hear another Shore M-E score!
Bob Knight as The Master. Now that makes me crack up. That's seriously funny.
No go on Billy Boyd. He's Pip, he'll always be Pip, and they can find someone more appropriate for the role of Bilbo.
