Film Preview: The Hobbit

After the huge success of the Lord of the Rings trilogy (I hated it), we see a prequel in The Hobbit which sees Martin Freeman take up the role of Bilbo Baggins and Ian McKellen back as Gandalf. The film has been a long time in the making after delays with MGM due to financial troubles and an industrial dispute in New Zealand with the International Federation of Actors. The delay with MGM meant that Guillermo Del Toro left the production of the movie.

It has already been confirmed that there will be a second Hobbit movie to be released in December 2013.

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 dragon Smaug (played by Benedicte Cumberbatch). Baggins finds himself being joined by thirteen dwarves on his mission through dangerous lands.

The Hobbit is released in the UK on 14th December 2012 and the trailer is embedded below.
