Things just got a little better for Tolkien fans. Less than a week after the release of their second trailer, the movie studio producing The Hobbit 2 has began airing a new television commercial. If you just can’t wait for the film’s 2013 release date, then you can watch the amazing cast in the video below.
Peter Jackson’s epic Hobbit adaptation is sure to be another box office blockbuster. Despite having a December release date, fans are already clamoring for any information they can get about the film. Luckily, Jackson is giving them a little taste of what they might expect in a new 30 second promo.
Warner Bros. uploaded the TV spot to their official YouTube page, telling viewers:
“The second in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug"continues the adventure of the title character Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he journeys with the Wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) on an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor.”
The studio also offered up an official description of the film on their website, stating:
“Having survived the beginning of their unexpected journey, the Company continues East, encountering along the way the skin-changer Beorn and a swarm of giant Spiders in the treacherous forest of Mirkwood. After escaping capture by the dangerous Wood-elves, the Dwarves journey to Lake-town, and finally to the Lonely Mountain itself, where they must face the greatest danger of all—a creature more terrifying than any other; one which will test not only the depth of their courage but the limits of their friendship and the wisdom of the journey itself—the Dragon Smaug.”
