Джексон дал небольшое интервью. Там есть и про саундтрек.
Peter Jackson: Return of the king - Entertainment - NZ Herald News
Вот это интересный момент:

Occasionally, as the film's prologue cuts to the movie's title, the room fills with a great rumbling of sound topped by a minor-key shriek of strings which sound almost Chinese in its foreboding motif.

"That is a little bit of a Smaug theme in the title," murmurs Jackson after I've sunk into the couch alongside him, leaving my own footwear on. He explains composer Howard Shore, who also did The Lord Of The Rings scores, created a theme for Smaug the dragon - seen briefly enacting a scorched Middle-earth policy in the first Hobbit movie - inspired by the prominence of dragons in Chinese and Indonesian culture.
Plus a touch of Psycho.

"Smaug is not Jaws or a monster," says Jackson as the music tails off. "Smaug is a psychopath. Smaug is literally a cunning, intelligent psychopath who is laying in wait for these guys. So it's sinister clever kind of music."
 

Если я правильно поняла, в музыкальной теме Смауга будут китайские мотивы. И фильм будет начинаться с темы Смауга. Подскажите пожалуйста, а то я чего-то не до конца понимаю.
И да, Смауг - коварный психопат
