Brand New ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ Trailer Shows Lots of Story!

For those who’ve never read J.R.R. Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’, this trailer will really help set up the story of the upcoming film, the first in the trilogy from Peter Jackson and company. It’s a really strong trailer too, showing us a solid mix of story, baddies and humor. And as funny as it is, you get to see a bit more to Gandalf’s character than we even got in ‘The Lord of the Rings’ films. An Unexpected Journey releases on December 14 (only a few months!), followed by The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug on Dec. 13, 2013 and The Hobbit: There And Back Again on July 18, 2014. None of those dates are soon enough.
