New Hobbit Trailer Debuts 130
New submitter madmarcel tips news that a new trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has been released.
"The new piece (seen above) is about the same length -- 2 1/2 minutes -- as the December trailer. But it cuts to the chase more quickly, leaving out the Frodo voiceover that sets up the Lord of the Rings follow-up. Instead we get the quick voiceover explanation -- 'the dwarves are determined to reclaim their homeland' -- before we meet up with Martin Freeman's Bilbo Baggins and set off. There's a slightly less self-serious tone to the proceedings this time around, though questers do 'enter the mountain' and play important games of riddles."

No Smaug. Less spiders than the Dark Forest. Lame.

"The Hobbit" without Smaug, would be like L.A, without smog... unnatural and strangely surreal.

I didn't see any songs by Leonard Nimoy, how good could it be?

Wait, so Orlando Bloom's going to play a female elf?

Am I the only one who prefers to wait for the finished product rather than watch it in two-minute disjointed chunks over the course of the next three months?
I quit watching trailers entirely for this reason and because they almost always give away the plot (or the best jokes, or the twist) anymore. Tron: Legacy, for example (admittedly, not exactly a thespianic masterpiece), completely ruined the entire plot start to finish for me with a four-word sentence in the trailer. It gave it away completely.
I'm with you. It would be a travesty if the studios give away the plot to The Hobbit

By the look of things, PJ could turn Gandalf taking a dump into an entire movie all its own. "Hnnnn...you...shall...not...pass...hnnn".
