clips and trailers: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

updated: 19 Sept 2012

Here it is folks, the full teaser trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey!

I did a bit of a blurb about how excited about this movie I am over on the production video clips feature. I’ll be keeping that one updated with any production clips that appear. Meanwhile though, I figured that we’ll be getting more film clips and trailers as the release date comes closer (my birthday next year!) so I thought I would set up a new hub for them.

With the release date some ways away there’s only the one trailer but keep checking back and I’ll put up everything I can. Oh also, I forgot to mention in the previous post, the novel is being made into two films so it’s really The Hobbit, part 1 that’s out next year – The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There and Back Again is due out on 13 Dec 2013.

Edit: 19 Sep 2012 There are now three films, the second part, still set for 13 Dec 2013 is now called The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and the third is set for 18 July 2014 and is called The Hobbit: There and Back Again, just to make things confusing.

I am excited about these, very excited. The Hobbit was one of my favourite books growing up and the fact is that – whether I can imagine ever sitting down and watching them all again or not – I do think that The Lord of the Rings films were some of the greatest films ever made.

Anyway, let me know what you think of this first trailer. Are you looking forward to the film as much as I am??
