A New The Hobbit Still

Warner Bros. Pictures (via Facebook) has released a new photo of Martin Freeman as his character Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”.

Coming to 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D theaters on December 14, 2012, “The Hobbit” film follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakensheild. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.

Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever… Gollum.

Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities… A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

The trailer for “The Hobbit” will be attached in front of previews for “The Adventures of Tintin”, but the trailer will be debuting online tonight at 7pm pacific time.

The second film, “The Hobbit: There and Back Again”, hits theaters on December 13, 2013.

Elijah Wood, Cate Blanchett, Ian McKellan, Hugo Weaving, Andy Serkis, Luke Evans, Orlando Bloom, Evangeline Lily, Christopher Lee and Stephen Fry star.
