Warner Bros. has released a new image from The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. USA Today displayed the new image of the wizard Gandalf and the Elven king Thranduil in its sneak peek at the final Hobbit film. Fans are gearing up for San Diego Comic-Con this week, where Peter Jackson will headline the main event for The Hobbit.
In the USA Today article, Lord of the Rings and Hobbit screenwriter and producer Philippa Boyens says of the upcoming final Hobbit film:
“People tend to forget what happens at the end of The Hobbit… They think of this little children’s book. The rest of the story needs to be told, and it’s pretty intense stuff.”
Waiting for the final installment of The Hobbit is bound to be intense for fans of the franchise!

Valdís is a classic nerd, with many geeky interests, but her life-long love of Tolkien rules them all. She was completely hooked the first time that she read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings at age 8. Since then, she has read the books at least once a year, and delves into Middle-earth at every opportunity with a fervor that would make any dwarf proud. She also deeply loves Peter Jackson’s films, and defends them staunchly when need arises.
When reality forces her out of Middle-earth, Valdís is a university professor, a wife, mother of two daughters, and servant to two cats.
