A new trailer for The Hobbit

Here it is.

Looks amazing, can not wait.

Wish this would come out already. Looks amazing.

My body wasn't ready.

I' m looking forward to returning to middle earth once again. I just hope the world won' t be destroyed before I get the chance to watch this.

Hope it's good but I'm expecting worse. PJ hasn't been the same since the original trilogy.

Awesome, I still don't see how they are going to make three movies out of this, but at least it looks great.Sajo7

It's not just based on the 1 Hobbit book - they added a ton of stuff for the LOTR appendices and the Silmarillion that wasn't mentioned in the original Hobbit book, but that had events that occurred at the same time as the Hobbit, as well as flashback to other historial Middle-Earth events related to the Ring lore and the lore of the rise of the "Necromancer, aka Sauron".

Plus, you got Gandalf's wizard-bro Radagast and probably some "Good Saruman" stuff that all preceded the LOTR stuff.

I didn't know about the extra stuff. Now that I do I think it's gonna be even greater than expected IMO.

Those ugly black bird-spies from the LOTR were originally given to Saruman from Radagast to aid against Sauron, back when Saruman was still a good guy.

Then, Saruman turned traitor and used them to track down the Fellowship in LOTR.

There's a whole story right there, between Radagast and Saruman they could add to the Hobbit movie.

(Or maybe the 10 hour long Extended Edition they'll sell years later LOL)

The stuff with Smaug vs. Lake Town and then the Battle of 5 Armies wasn't exactly lighthearted...

And everything in Gollum's cave was FAR from lighthearted.

The Hobbitt has some pretty dark sequences in it. The only really lighthearted stuff was in the beginning when they all assembled at Bilbo's house.

I think the problem with the idea of the 3 films is not really the fact there isnt strictly enough in the book to make 3 films, its more the story in the book and how its delivered is maybe more of a single film.

Peter jackson has already said he wants to explore more of the lore and extra books that surround the hobbit. I personally think the film will be better than the book. So far from what I have read the hobbit has been the weaker of the 3 books i have read.. although the two towers and the ent part is horrible in the book, just drags on and on.

Anyway I think the film will be pretty awesome, however I am not sure the story itself is as grand as the LOTR and this will be more of a techinical showcase that the previous films.

December needs to get here quickly.ExoticAnimal

Wow, it looks great. I was expecting a lot of this trailer to be repeated footage from the other trailer but that was pretty much all new. My body wasn't entirely ready.

Looks OK, but I cant say I am as excited for this as I was for the LOTR movies. Still cant believe they stretched the hobbit into 3 films.:?

Can't wait! I wonder how they'll depict the dragon.

That's the best trailer yet of this movie so far, looks like another movie that would do awesome in the box office.

The book was decent and the movie does look promising.

Looks great, but since its now three movies, we're not going to see any hint of Smaug or the Lonely Mountain til 2014 at the earliest.Allicrombie

For someone like me who hasn't read the book, it's more so about trying to avoid spoilers untill 2014...

My first reaction lol...

Maybe not, part 2 is called the Desolation of Smaug and that comes out Dec. 2013

Part 3 is There and Back Again, and that is coming out in July 2014

[QUOTE="Sajo7"]Yeah that is why two movies made sense to me. A trilogy just concerns me because I think they are going to but an awful lot of Sauron/Ring foreshadowing in when the Hobbit wasn't really about that. For the epicness, the Hobbit is still a fairly lighthearted story. I'm just concerned we are going to get Mordor levels of darkness and corruption, when that belongs to LOTR. I don't need another LOTR.Netherscourge

Finally, after so many years the wait is almost over.

Hard to hold onto most of my doubts about the film after this new trailer and its alternate endings, but doubts are still there. I still worry about the frame rate, as well as just the overall tone of the film. The story here just doesn't feel quite as "epic" as the original trilogy, which wouldn't be an issue if not for the fact that Peter Jackson seems to want to stretch it out longer than it needs to be.
