Had The Hobbit been made as a prequel to the film trilogy, then there might have been some mileage in Jackson slowly revealing the true nature of the Ring.
However, since non-book readers will be unfamiliar with the Ring's recent back history and book readers will know the true nature of the Ring anyway, I am not sure that there is much to be gained, in terms of suspense, by gradually revealing this.
