Peter Jackson's The Hobbit

Is he? I never knew...

Seriously, after he played silly buggers with LotR, I don't expect much from this, except that Smaug should be awesome.

FTR, The hobbit was set when Bilbo was 50, and LotR starts with Bilbo being 111 and Frodo 33, putting a 78 year gap between them. Frodo wasn't even BORN when Bilbo went off the first time.

The penalty for this should be death.

No, the penalty for this should be to be carried away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where his flesh shall be devoured and his shrivelled mind left naked to the Lidless Eye. But he probably wouldn't even get the reference.
