it would not be hard to cast Ian Holme as a younger Bilbo. Bilbo is actually around 50 when he goes on his adventure with the dwarves, so it could be done.
And Peter Jackson had better keep the "Riddles in the Drak" chapter as close to the book as possible, if he knows what's good for him.
and as for the little epilogue at the beginning of FotR with Bilbo fining the ring and Gollum screaming, that was merely an epilogue, ment to give you just the marrow of the story. If they make the Hobbit (which I have heard rumors they are seriously considering) they shouln't change the story around too much, since it is a shorter tale than any one of the trilogy books.
