The actual film is just under a year away, but here is the first trailer and poster for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. What a lovely trailer it is. The music, the look and the whole feel of it are just gorgeous.
Initially we see Elijah Wood as Frodo and Ian Holm as Bilbo. Having them as a framing device is a great idea for those not familiar with the books as it helps tie it all in with The Lord of the Rings movies.
The trailer shows us the Dwarves (who sing), the trolls, a certain Ring and Gollum.
It looks as if Peter Jackson has done it again.
“The Hobbit” follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakensheild. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.
Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever … Gollum.
Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities … A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.
The film stars Martin Freeman, Sir Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom, Andy Serkis, Luke Evans, Benedict Cumberbatch, Evangeline Lilly, and Stephen Fry.
