THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG Reveals New Trailer & Another Peter Jackson’s Production Blog

Time for us to share a brand new (3-minute) trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, as well as another (almost 10-minute long) production blog which comes straight from director Peter Jackson. The latest blog focuses on the final phase of additional shooting done in Wellington, New Zealand earlier this year, so we’re sure you’re going to enjoy… We will once again remind you that the movie continues the adventure of Bilbo Baggins as he journeys with the Wizard Gandalf and thirteen Dwarves on an epic quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. This time, the Company continues East, encountering along the way the skin-changer Beorn and a swarm of giant Spiders in the treacherous forest of Mirkwood.

After escaping capture by the dangerous Wood-elves, the Dwarves journey to Lake-town, and finally to the Lonely Mountain itself, where they must face the greatest danger of all – a creature more terrifying than any other; one which will test not only the depth of their courage but the limits of their friendship and the wisdom of the journey itself: the Dragon Smaug!

Starring Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Benedict Cumberbatch, Lee Pace, Hugo Weaving, Sylvester McCoy, Luke Evans, Orlando Bloom, and Evangeline Lilly, the movie opens on December 13th, 2013.
