\"\"<\/a>It was ten years ago this week that director Petr Jackson first transported movie audiences to J R R Tolkien’s Middle-Earth with the premier of The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring<\/strong>. It seems only right that last night gave us the first trailer for Jackson’s adaption of of Tolkien’s first novel of Middle-Earth, The Hobbit<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And what a first look it is. Some of it is familiar as we have seen some of these sights in the Lord Of The Rings<\/strong> films. And the trailer does a good job introducing us to the 12 dwarves whom the titular Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) will accompany on a great adventure to free a treasure from the clutches of a dragon.<\/p>\n

But also gives us glimpses at some of the material that Jackson developed that serve to connect The Hobbit<\/strong> and The Lord Of The Rings<\/strong> including the latter films’ older Bilbo (Ian Holmes) and his nephew Frodo (Elijah Woods). We also see glimpses of a meeting between Gandalf and Lord Of The Rings<\/strong>‘s Galadriel (Cate Blanchett), just one of the things that Jackson developed from material found in the appendices of Lord Of The Rings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey<\/strong> premiers December 14, 2012.<\/p>\n
