Suggestions for the Hobbit script?

[Oddwen]

It was suggested that the film open in the Shire with Sam Gamgee reading from the Red Book to his children and then we would see the story of THE HOBBIT.

I've been hoping for an Ian Holm as Bilbo reading his own book, maybe to a very young Frodo. Or even to Merry, Sam Pippin and Frodo. That'd be one way to get them all in the movie.

Or as for a wizard/Sauron duel, I'd love to see Saruman and Gandalf go against him together. It'd be cool to see Saruman and Gandalf as friends.
