Listen. They’ve divided The Hobbit up into three films so it really is about time we all just got over it…
Roaring (or boring, depending on which way you look at it) its way into Irish cinemas in December of this year, The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug has just released its latest epic trailer of epic proportion.
As Thorin (Richard Armitage) and his company of courageous dwarves continue on their quest to reclaim their homeland from the evil dragon Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch), they are accompanied by the plucky Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) who is now in possession of the One Ring.
That’s the really, really, really evil piece of jewellery in case you were wondering.
Almost as evil as an engagement ring.
Picking up right where An Unexpected Journey left off, Peter Jackson’s sequel stars all of the first film’s familiar faces (Bilbo, Gandalf and Thorin) as well as some very welcome new ones including friend of JOE Luke Evans as Bard the Bowman, lovely LOST alumnus Evangeline Lilly as Tauriel, and Lord Of The Rings veteran (but The Hobbit newbie) Orlando Bloom as Legolas.
What we’re most excited by though is the excellent, creepy and menacing voice work of Bennyballs Cabbagepatch as Smaug the titular dragon.
Enjoy:
The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug will be released in Irish cinemas on 13 December 2013.
