“The Hobbit” new clips see Bilbo sent on a journey

New video clips from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey have been released, Digital Spy reported.

The first instalment in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy sees Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) forced out of his comfortable, uneventful existence after Gandalf (Ian McKellen) persuades him to accompany 13 dwarves on a mission to recover their stolen treasure.

The first clip sees Bilbo becoming increasingly irritated as more and more dwarves turn up at his home in Hobbiton.

Another clip shows Elrond (Hugo Weaving) handing out swords to the 13 dwarves, which follows an earlier clip in which Gandalf gave Bilbo the elven sword Sting.
