With the release of THE HOBBIT looming ever closer, Middle-earth fans have been treated to an assortment of images, trailers, and other trinkets this last week. First we had a glimpse of the delectable Evangeline Lilly in all her Elvish glory, then today a sneak peek at the Goblin King (in toy form, admittedly). Now here’s a brand new poster, featuring a bloody great load of dwarves mugging for the camera.
As if anyone didn’t already know, THE HOBBIT marks Peter Jackson’s return to Tolkien’s Middle-earth, a decade after his beloved THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy. This time around, the younger Bilbo Baggins will head off on adventure with thirteen dwarves – including the warrior Thorin Oakenshield – as they try to reclaim the Kingdom of Erebor from the dragon Smaug. The movies (yes, another three of the buggers) will feature plenty of all-new Middle-earth action, as well as some familiar faces (a certain Gollum and his One Ring to Rule Them All…).
THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY stars Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Andy Serkis, Stephen Fry, Hugo Weaving, Luke Evans, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ian McKellen, Ian Holm, Cate Blanchett, Sylvester McCoy, and Christopher Lee. It arrives in UK cinemas in 3D and IMAX 14th December. You can see the trailer here.
Check out the new poster!
THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG will follow on 13th December 2013, and THE HOBBIT: THERE AND BACK AGAIN on 18th July 2014.
