A Long Expected Party -- The Movie - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Re: A Long Expected Party -- The Movie Start the movie with a scene at The Green Dragon. Have several hobbits discussing the imminent party at Bag End. This scene wouldn't have to be too long, just enough to introduce hobbits to the uninitiated. It would also be a good way to describe Bilbo and Frodo from a 3rd person perspective. You could have Ted Sandyman (or someone else) talking about how Bilbo is very strange-- going off on "adventures" and how that isn't natural for hobbits. Talk about his "There And Back Again" journey and all the supposed treasure he has. This would set the scene for the party (which wouldn't need to be more than 4 minutes or so). I believe more attention should be paid to Chapters 1 and 2; Farmer Maggot and Tom Bombadil might have to be cut out if necessary. Just my $0.02.
