attempt to preserve the voice of the narrator, which a bigger part of The Hobbit than of LotR. I think the film can show Bilbo gripping his sword and contemplating a strike before softening, and leaping. I don't think there should be a voiceover, nor do I think that Bilbo should explain his behavior to the dwarves in an attempt to preserve the voice of the narrator. Trust the audience to figure it out. The voice of the narrator is something we lose in Jane Austen adaptations as well, yet the adaptations still can work. We just have to turn to the books for the witty asides of the narrator. Now, the issue of how to film Bilbo when he is invisible or in complete darkness is another matter. I'll have to think about that.
