So awesome! I Thanks for posting this. Nice to finally see a trailer after all the obstacles this film has had to overcome. Looks great!
Speaking of Star Trek, I wonder if Leonard Nimoy is going to do another Bilbo Baggins song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC73PHdQX04
The Hobbit is going to be a two-parter right? Add to that the inevitable extended editions of the hobbit somewhere being released around Christmas 2014... So coming 2015, we can watch all 5 Tolkien extended movies in a marathon lasting the better part of a day. Holy shit!
Well, the news that the Hobbit would be a two-parter is pretty old and I haven't been keeping up to date on the project, so i don't know if it still holds true. However, from what I was able to piece together from the trailer I've seen nothing that relates to the Lonely Mountain or the men of Dale. So I guess, the story barely progresses past Rivendell, the Elves and the Trolls, which I think is roughly the half-way mark. It has been a couple of years since I last read the Hobbit though. Also, I think they are expanding the story a bit to show a bit more of the Battle of the Three Armies, because a Jackons/Tolkien movie wouldn't be complete without at least one major combat scene.
