A week ago, Andy Serkis mentioned that we could see a teaser for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey as early as Christmas. Now, industry insiders are speculating that The Hobbit teaser trailer will be attached (along with the highly anticipated new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises) to Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Sherlock Holmes opens in the US on December 16, 2011, which means if you see the film on opening day, you’ll only have to wait 364 days before The Hobbit opens on December 14, 2012. It’s suddenly slightly annoying that next year is a leap year.

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.
