THE HOBBIT - Detailed Description of the First Trailer
So some lucky bastard has already seen the first trailer to be released for Peter Jackson's highly anticipated film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. A detailed description of this trailer was sent to TheOneRing.net by someone called Ringer Duff Man, and I will warn you: it obviously contains trailer Spoilers. This is one of my most anticipated films ever, so I couldn't be more excited about this!
Here's the full description:
Starts with Bilbo (Ian Holm!!) talking to Frodo (Elijah Wood) at Bag End about his "adventures" and how he didn't tell him everything.
Shows Gandalf making his proposition to young Bilbo and introducing all 13 dwarves by name as it cuts to each.
Bilbo protests of course, because Bagginses belong at Bag End.
The "big" scene is the dwarves, led by Thorin, singing a long slow song. I didn't catch all the words, but I have to assume it's from the book. Very ominous tone.
Lots of images in a montage, of travelling and fighting. I think I saw some goblins, and maybe some troll legs, but it went by quickly. Some creepy ruins—looked almost like Moria, but without the majesty. I wasn't sure if it was underground in the goblin stronghold or something else. Dol Guldur?
There is definitely Rivendell and the shards of Narsil and maybe Elrond, but again, I can't be sure.
No Smaug at all. No hints at plot, really. No Beorn that I could see. Not even any spiders, although I think I saw some creepy woods. One of my favorite scenes was the dwarves cleaning Bilbo's dishes after dinner. Expect some acrobatic dishes :)
Thorin is depicted as a bit callous—he tells Gandalf he can't guarantee his safe return. Gandalf agrees, and Thorin adds "Nor will I be responsible for his fate."
It ends with Gandalf saying to Bilbo that if he returns, he may be changed-this is in voiceover while we see THE RING, and Gollum climbing behind Bilbo in the cave.
Can't wait to see it again!
It seems like it was a short, fast-moving trailer, but regardless I'm excited as hell to see all this visually up on the big screen! What do you all think about this description released?
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will come to theaters December 14, 2012. The second film, The Hobbit: There and Back Again, will be released the following year, beginning December 13, 2013.
Here's the full synopsis:
Both films are set in Middle-earth 60 years before The Lord of the Rings, which Jackson and his filmmaking team brought to the big screen in the blockbuster trilogy that culminated with the Oscar®-winning The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome 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.
