The trouble with that is it might come too late in the
story. What about when they enter Mirkwood or when the
dwarves or captured by the spiders (with Thorin by
Thranduil) and Bilbo is left frantic, while at
the same time the White Counsel is seen deciding to
attack Dol Guldur or even beginning the battle?

Of course, if PJ does such films you'd have to be
prepared for Aragorn being aged from 10 to about 20
so he could have his first trysts with Arwen (actually, not
altogether a bad idea).

Another problem with doing stuff like Aragorn and Arwen's first meeting is that it screams "prequel." The Hobbit is not a prequel. It was not intended to be, and it remained a clear stand-alone even after LOTR was published. It deserves to be made a movie on its own merits with its own material, without making it LOTR Episode I.

That's one of the many things I don't like about the Star Wars prequels (don't even get me started about their many shortcomings). They repeatedly throw in hints and nods and allusions to the old movies. Even if you wanted to (which no one would), you can't watch the new movies without already having seen the old ones. I don't want The Hobbit to be like that. I want it to be a film you can sit down and watch, having never seen LOTR (even though everyone has), and enjoy.
