New Hobbit Trailer Debuts

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday September 19, 2012 @07:38AM from the hairy-feet-abound dept.

New submitter madmarcel tips news that a new trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has been released. "The new piece (seen above) is about the same length -- 2 1/2 minutes -- as the December trailer. But it cuts to the chase more quickly, leaving out the Frodo voiceover that sets up the Lord of the Rings follow-up. Instead we get the quick voiceover explanation -- 'the dwarves are determined to reclaim their homeland' -- before we meet up with Martin Freeman's Bilbo Baggins and set off. There's a slightly less self-serious tone to the proceedings this time around, though questers do 'enter the mountain' and play important games of riddles."

"The Hobbit" without Smaug, would be like L.A, without smog... unnatural and strangely surreal.

I didn't see any songs by Leonard Nimoy, how good could it be?

One does not simply rewrite the story!

By the look of things, PJ could turn Gandalf taking a dump into an entire movie all its own. "Hnnnn...you...shall...not...pass...hnnn".
