The Hobbit: 5 Upcoming Scenes That Could Save The Series

4. Barrel Rider

Barrels While struggling their way through Mirkwood, Spiders are not the only issue the party have to contend with, as the Wood Elves who inhabit the forest are not the friendly, welcoming allies audiences have come to expect. Taking the group prisoner, it is once again up to Bilbo to find a way to set them free. The manner in which he does so, could very well be a cinematic highlight. Making use of a stream which leads directly into Lake Town, Bilbo smuggles the dwarves in wine barrels out of the King of the Wood Elves Palace. While on paper, this doesn€™t sound like much, it is hard to imagine a scene in which people are crammed into barrels and thrown into a raging river is an opportunity which will be missed by the team over at The Hobbit. This has the potential to be hilarious, tense and visually spectacular.
