It gave me a whole new perspective on how Bilbo will be played by Freeman. Was it just me or did that little laugh Bilbo did seem a bit odd?
"'Ai! ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!' Gimli stared with wide eyes. 'Durin's Bane!' he cried, and letting his axe fall he covered his face. 'A Balrog,' muttered Gandalf. 'Now I understand. What an evil fortune! And I am already weary.''

It has that same quality that a lot of the LotR scenes do - makes me want to start drawing.

Whether he's done much fighting, and then Bilbo does his speech (so its been edited the other way round.) The laugh doesn't seem odd to me.

IMO the laugh just seemed a tiny bit forced. I know it's a nervous laugh and all, but hopefully, like the faint, it will flow better in full context

Oh, and as mentioned I don't think Thorin's question takes place in this scene, as he's seen saying it in Bag End in another TV spot. Here it is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxrW2T1F8KA Great Goblins's throne at 00:10, and what appears to be him on the floor.

I don't think it was supposed to be just nervous laughter with the way Bilbo literally says the "ha ha ha" in response. There's a way Martin says it that I think was a deliberate choice, and I think it's perfectly Bilbo. Just my opinion.

IMO, this seems like it's from the end of the film, with Bilbo having rejoined the Dwarves after Goblin-town...

We'll start with the scene described by Empire (?), a while back, with Thorin saying that Bilbo has fled and they won't be seeing him again. Bilbo reappears, gives this little speech...perhaps this is where he has the exchange about having found his courage with Gandy from the Comic-Con footage. Then we get the pursuit by Wargs as night falls (looks like sunset here), then Out of the Frying Pan. Either that, or this is the last scene of the film (perhaps it's sunrise, following their Eagle escape)? Also, wonder if this is where "Dreaming of Bag End" will play?
My Top 5 Wish List for "The Hobbit" 5. Legolas will surf down Smaug's neck 4. Bilbo will be revealed to a Robot 3. Naked PJ cameo as Ghan-Buri-Ghan 2. Use of not only 3D, but smell-o-vision, plus the inclusion of axes coming out of the seats and poking the audience when appropriate 1. Not only keep the claim that Thorin & Co. ran amok in Mirkwood "molesting people", but depict said incident in vivid detail!!!!!

This was done very very well. I think Bilbo's speech gives it a little heart for us to connect with, and it also tells why they're all on this journey - to take back the dwarves' home. Very good tv spot!

I think you're right in regards to Thorin.

The words ("have you done much fighting?") don't seem to sync up with his lip-movement, imo; It seems more likely to be dialogue lifted from the Bag End-scene we saw in one of the other tv-spots. Random observation; In the last shot before the title shows (where Bilbo charges at something with Sting drawn), Thorin is lying in the background. Perhaps this occurs just after a warg has shaken Thorin in it's mouth (as suggested in an interview with Armitage), Bilbo being the one to save him? All in all, I think this is one of the best tv-spots yet, along with the Japanese one. Love the dialogue from Bilbo, and the forced laugh feels kind of appropriate. I also like how, when all the other dwarves are stood around Bilbo, Balin is standing beside him; Is he standing up in defense of Bilbo?

When Bilbo yells and charges at something, Thorin is lying on the ground behind him, seemingly dead (or knocked unconscious)... Is this fake death #37?

Freeman seems to be a perfect Bilbo here. The acting is spot-on. And I like the dialogue (clearly post-Goblintown, when Thorin is questioning Bilbo's disappearance). His laugh is perfect, as it is a nervous, fake laugh (seemingly, in response to a question he has heard before from Thorin - at Bag End). Also, it looks great!

Agreed that the laugh being fake is the point, so it's appropriate. Regarding Bilbo and Freeman's performance, I also enjoy...

I put it off too long and it there are a few threads here started already on this - but Martin's acting is just not doing it for me after 6 TV spots and 2 trailers. He is too contemporary in his delivery and his acting for this classic role...it just seems so out of place based on all the other acting I have seen to date with LoTR and the things we have seen to date. I am really starting to second guess this now....for something I have been waiting a lifetime for. I know I am not alone in these feelings....

It took me a while to figure out what Thorin was asking. Did Thorin also ask this in one of the other trailers or TV spots?
