One of the most anticipated movies for the coming year is Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and its trailer was just released. The film will be released in December 2012 as the first of two films adapting the novel, and it looks like anyone who enjoyed The Lord of the Rings movies will also like this one.
As you can see from the trailer, many of the actors from The Lord of the Rings movies appear, so that the “prequel” feels like a part of the series rather than a different movie altogether. The trailer includes Andy Serkis (Gollum), Ian McKellen (Gandalf), Elijah Wood (Frodo), Orlando Bloom (Legolas), and Cate Blanchett (Galadriel). The Hobbit is set sixty years before the events of The Fellowship of the Ring and follows Bilbo Baggins, who is played by Martin Freeman, on a journey where he discovers Gollum and the ring featured in The Lord of the Rings. I can’t wait.
In other anticipated trailer news this week, a theatrical trailer for The Dark Knight Rises was also released.
