Honestly, I was a little surprised when I heard that some people were “underwhelmed” by the trailer for THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY. Well, I guess it’s a “to each his own” situation, but I loved it. There’s something magical that happens when Peter Jackson enters this world.
A new still showed up a few days ago during an interview with Evangeline Lilly when she was talking about playing a new elf called Tauriel. We must have missed the still initially, but now we have it here just for you. The photo shows Bilbo (Martin Freeman) surrounded by dwarves. Needs more Gandalf.
Check it out below.
“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” follows title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever… Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities… A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.
