Get up from planking, stop looking at pictures of cats, and wait to forward that rickrolling email. Set down everything you are doing and put your life on hold because the first trailer for “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” is out!

We here at Middle-earth Network are so excited to get this first glimpse of what we will see in cinemas when the first of the two Hobbit films is released on December 14, 2012! The second movie, “The Hobbit: There and Back Again” is slated for release on December 13, 2013.

Peter Jackson’s epic adaptation of J. R. R Tolkien’s masterpiece stars Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Richard Armitage as Thorin, Luke Evans as Bard the Bowman, Evangeline Lilly as the elf Tauriel, Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug, and Andy Serkis reprising his role as Gollum.

Author: Lily’s first experience with Tolkien was when the eccentric Mrs. H performed all of the characters from The Hobbit in her seventh grade class. In high school, she felt obliged to decline a second date with a boy who said he had no interest in reading The Lord of the Rings. In college, she unwisely decided to reread her beloved copy of The Hobbit during finals week, with only semi-disastrous results. When not writing for Middle-earth News, Lily tries not to unnerve her coworkers and family with her extreme geekery, but somehow, Star Wars, Star Trek, Sherlock, Merlin, Doctor Who, The Princess Bride, Back to the Future, superheroes, Disney movies, and of course, Tolkien, seem to have relevance in EVERY conversation.
