Yeah, that's definitely what I've been hearing. It's only conjecture at this point, but it makes sense, especially since Tolkien had to revise a lot of stuff in The Hobbit anyway once he started working on Lord of the Rings. Aragorn and Saruman are also apparently having expanded roles, since they're getting into the business of the White Council and I think even tracking down Gollum, since they're tackling a bit of the stuff that went on between the books, from what I've read.
That stuff could actually be pretty cool in its own right, actually. I always liked the appendices in the books, and wanted to see more.
