It's here, it's here, it's here! Are you excited: the first trailer for epic adventure THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG is here! Directed by Peter Jackson, the second part of the Hobbit saga will be released in theatres this December but you can already check out the first absolutely glorious trailer for it. It brings the first look upon Bard the Bowman, Legolas, Tauriel and Smaug beside giving us stunning look upon Gandalf, Bilbo, Thranduil and the rest of the company. You can also check out the first poster for the second part of the Middle Earth trilogy and you can read all the facts you need to know before December comes upon us bringing the prequel tale to the famous LORD OF THE RINGS saga! 
THE STORY OF THE SEQUEL
DESOLATION OF SMAUG
In the first film (which has earned more than one billion dollar around the world) the Dwarfs, Bilbo (Martin Freeman) and Gandalf have successfully escaped the misty mountains, and Bilbo has gained the One Ring. They now all continue their journey to get their gold back from
the Dragon, Smaug! After crossing over (and under) the Misty Mountains, Thorin and Company must seek aid from a powerful stranger before taking on the dangers of Mirkwood Forest - without their Wizard (Ian McKellen). If they reach the human settlement of 
Laketown it will be time for the hobbit Bilbo Baggins to fulfil his contract with the dwarves. The party must complete the journey to Lonely Mountain and burglar Baggins must seek out the Secret Door
that will give them access to the hoard of the dragon Smaug. And, where has Gandalf got off to? And what is his secret business to the south?

THE HOBBITY INFO
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE EPIC SEQUEL
What shall we see in the adventures of our heroes in THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG? They will visit the house of the shape-shifting bear Beorn (Mikael Persbrandt) who lives with his 
animal retinue and who doesn't like Hobbits but also hates goblins, so Gandalf killing the Great Goblin King will impress him and he will help Thorin (Richard Armitage) and Bilbo to prepare for their journey.

MIRKWOOD COURT OF ELVEN KING THRANDUIL
They will also end up in the Mirkwood Forests filled with wonders, mysteries, enchanted streams, spiders and wood elves! Here we shall also see the wondrous Mirkwood palace of Thranduil the Elven king played by Lee Pace. Since Thorin's group will be imprisoned by 
the Elven king we shall also see, for the very first time, Tauriel, gorgeous Elven archer and the member of the Royal Guard, played by Evangeline Lilly. She will be using twin blades! They are supposed to 
run away from Thranduil's palace hidden in barrels! Thranduil's son Legolas (Orlando Bloom, who is, in real life, actually two years older than Lee Pace) is also supposed to appear in the film in some kind of a battle scene.

BARD THE BOWMAN
FUTURE KING OF DALE
After escaping the Elven court (using Thranduil's butler Galion's fondness for drink) Thorin, Bilbo and the rest of the dwarves will end up in Laketown, the city of humans, where we shall meet for the first time Bard the Bowman played by Luke Evans, one of the people of
the
pompous Master of Laketown played by Stephen Fry. Bard will give the
company a boat ride to LakeTown! Bard will be an enigmatic, Robin
Hood-esque figure, Middle-earth's finest when it comes to arrow-skills!
He is the heir of Girion, the last king of old Dale. He defends the
town when the dragon comes, and slays the dragon himself. In the last
film he will lead the Men of Esgaroth at the Battle of Five Armies and
will be crowned king of the re-founded Dale. He also has a little son
Bain!

GANDALF & RADAGAST
Gandalf will venture into the tombs within the High Fells, trying to exhume the blade of the Witch-King of Angmar! He is supposed to meet with delightful Radagast the Brown there played by Sylvester McCoy! 
EVIL DRAGON SMAUG
In the end they will reach the Lonely Mountain and the ancient Dwarf city of Erebor where Bilbo will bathe in the sea of gold before the
huge talking gold hoarding fire breathing dragon Smaug appears voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch!

Gah! CAN. NOT. WAIT. FOR. THIS. MOVIE. I love me some hot blond elves!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I had no idea Legolas was Thranduil's son--interesting!
I'm in the Elven frenzy - this was so their trailer :) Unlike the first film which I've found monotonous and overly dwarvish :) this one will have enough Elven people to feed our Elven souls :)
DeleteTotally agree :)
Delete:)
DeleteAmazing trailer Dezmond , great movie the special effects is fantastic ;)
ReplyDeleteCheers
It's stunning, isn't it? :)
DeleteYes I have seen the other films in this saga :)
Delete:)
DeleteThat looks better than the first movie. Warrior elves make everything better. :P
ReplyDeletethat's what I always say - Elves are my fave spice in everything :) Such a glorious trailer when it doesn't focus on boring Dwarves....
DeleteI am sooo excited! I can't wait to see this movie! Yikes, spiders but hooray for a dwarf city!!!!
ReplyDeletetones of glorious cities in the film, including Dale with the picture above :) Can't wait to see more closely Thranduil's city in Mirkwood!
DeleteCan't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteme neither!
DeleteGood trailer, even better info but still the movie is 6 months away, damn Peter Jackson!
ReplyDeletethanks for liking the info too, Lurk, means a lot!
DeleteTrailer already? Sweet
ReplyDeleteyep, they wanted to catch MAN OF STEEL premiere and play the trailer in cinemas this weekend :) It will be the main buzz of the month!
Deletewho's got two feet and doing a the happy dance... this guy!
ReplyDeletejust don't tell me those are big hairy hobbitty feet! Us Elven people don't like Dwarves :))
DeleteI can't wait for the return to Middle Earth. With so many gorgeous Elves, I never want to leave. :) Wonderful post with so much info and interesting pictures.
ReplyDeletemy thought exactly, I'd love to be imprisoned in Mirkwood forever and never leave :)
DeleteGreat in depth look! Now my post about it looks like a fart in the wind :P
ReplyDeletethanks, Styron, glad you liked it and direct the wind into some other direction :P
DeleteHaha!
Deleteus Elves have tender noses :)
DeleteOh my god ... it looks fantastic!!!
ReplyDeletePeter Jackson is truly the master of direction. Simply can't wait to sink into the soft seats at my local cinema!
Thanks, Dezzy :)
the trailer promises a much much better film than the first one. I'm rather surprised and amazed :) I squilled and clapped throughout the trailer whenever my Elven people would appear :)
DeleteThe movie doesn't interest me as much as knowing whether or not that blond haired dude has hair extensions.
ReplyDeleteDebs, that's Lee Pace who has shortly cropped brown hair, so, yes, those are some glorious extensions :)
Deletebut those rich eyebrows are his very own :)
DeleteThe whole family crowded around the iPad this morning to watch this.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!!!! ARGH. I need this movie now!
too much to wait, too much to wait!
DeleteI still need to see the first one
ReplyDeleteNo, you don't. ;)
Deleteyep, the first one was disappointing even to little moi :( But it did have glorious moments (when Dwarves weren't in focus).
DeleteYou like Dwarves?
Deleteyou is so ebil, Blue, so very very very ebil, it simply wanna makes me kick you out to the couch in the living room :PPPP
DeleteThe first one may have earned more than one billion dollar, but the plot was ridiculous. They should've stayed on that bird and flows all the way to that Lonely Mountain. The end. I hope the sequels are better and not just The Hobbit: The Search for More Money Parts 2 and 3.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Ever seen THIS? (3:40)
I haven't actually seen that part with the eagle in the film, since my Torrent version was about 20 minutes shorter LOL but the first two hours were mostly boring so I didn't bother finding those last minutes in some other version :)
DeleteWell, they got a ride from a couple of birds and they flew all the way to some mountain top, the stupidest place to land but the view is great for us movie-goers. And then they saw the mountain they were heading for in the distance: 'That's where we're going.' Well, get back on top of that bird, bro!
Deletewhaaaat? I didn't know that Eagle King from FLASH GORDON appears in the adventures dirty little Hobbitses too?
DeleteOooh I'm excited. Thanks for keeping me informed on this Dezmond. I loved the trailer. Showing it to some co-workers :)
ReplyDeleteit's the trailer of the summer :) and I will have 300 RISE OF AN EMPIRE trailer this Friday too! Warner is releasing great trailers to go with MAN OF STEEL premiere!
DeleteOMG.....wow ~ I can't wait for the movie dear ~ The trailer is fantastic ~ Thanks for the backgrounder as I need to refresh my memory of the first one ~
ReplyDeletesuch a great trailer it is, isn't it? :)
DeleteI haven't seen it yet, but I will see it and also the two that follow it! Great post!
ReplyDeleteglad you liked the post. I'd say the first was a bit boring and thus better to be watched at home in the comfort of your bed :)
