Preview: The Hobbit an Unexpected Journey

Tolkien fans are nearing another gleeful rejoicing, as the time comes closer for the first Hobbit movie to be released. The Hobbit is Tolkien's book which takes place before The Lord of The Rings trilogy.

Peter Jackson is once again bringing the story to the screen, and has split the book into three parts: An Unexpected Journey, The Desolation of Smaug, and There and Back Again.

This is the tale of Bilbo Baggins' adventures and eventually how he comes to be the holder of the one ring. He accompanies Gandalf and a group of dwarves on their quest to reclaim the Kingdom of Erebor from the dragon Smaug.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will still be coming out December 14, 2012, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is due out December 13, 2013, and The Hobbit: There and Back Again has been announced for July 18, 2014.

A note: Normally we don't share fan made trailers, but only official ones, however this one is extremely well done. It blends multiple previews together, into a seven minute trailer. Some scenes are actually from each of the movies.
