Sweet!!!!!!

But I was surprised to not see any previews of the "Battle of the Five Armies" or Smaug. Those are pretty significant parts of the book.

Edit: mispelled Smaug's name

[olivelappers]

Sweet!!!!!!

But I was surprised to not see any previews of the "Battle of the Five Army's" or Smog. Those are pretty significant parts of the book.

Well this is a part 1 trailer, part 2 will surely have the Battle of Five Army's.

[VladFal]

shame most of the good stuff will be in 2.

[dittygari]

Was Galadriel in The Hobbit? Whoever answers correctly gets MY AXE.

[mikajuise]

You mean we have to wait a year!?!? Oh dear.... it will be the longest wait ever... man it looks good!

[Mifsnavassy]

Awww, my nerd rager just wont go down.

"Far over the Misty Mountains cold,
To dungeons deep and caverns old,
We must away, ere break of day,
To seek our pale enchanted gold.

The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells,
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls beneath the fells.

For ancient king and elvish lord
There many a gleaming golden hoard
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught,
To hide in gems on hilt of sword.

On silver necklaces they strung
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, on twisted wire
They meshed the light of moon and sun.

Far over the Misty Mountains cold,
To dungeons deep and caverns old,
We must away, ere break of day,
To claim our long-forgotten gold.

Goblets they carved there for themselves,
And harps of gold, where no man delves
There lay they long, and many a song
Was sung unheard by men or elves.

The pines were roaring on the heights,
The wind was moaning in the night,
The fire was red, it flaming spread,
The trees like torches blazed with light.

The bells were ringing in the dale,
And men looked up with faces pale.
The dragon's ire, more fierce than fire,
Laid low their towers and houses frail.

The mountain smoked beneath the moon.
The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom.
They fled the hall to dying fall
Beneath his feet, beneath the moon.

Far over the Misty Mountains grim,
To dungeons deep and caverns dim,
We must away, ere break of day,
To win our harps and gold from him!

The wind was on the withered heath,
But in the forest stirred no leaf:
There shadows lay be night or day,
And dark things silent crept beneath.

The wind came down from mountains cold,
And like a tide it roared and rolled.
The branches groaned, the forest moaned,
And leaves were laid upon the mould.

The wind went on from West to East;
All movement in the forest ceased.
But shrill and harsh across the marsh,
Its whistling voices were released.

The grasses hissed, their tassels bent,
The reeds were rattling—on it went.
O'er shaken pool under heavens cool,
Where racing clouds were torn and rent.

It passed the Lonely Mountain bare,
And swept above the dragon's lair:
There black and dark lay boulders stark,
And flying smoke was in the air.

It left the world and took its flight
Over the wide seas of the night.
The moon set sale upon the gale,
And stars were fanned to leaping light.

Under the Mountain dark and tall,
The King has come unto his hall!
His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread,
And ever so his foes shall fall!

The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong.
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.

The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls beneath the fells.

On silver necklaces they strung
The light of stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, from twisted wire
The melody of harps they wrung.

The mountain throne once more is freed!
O! Wandering folk, the summons heed!
Come haste! Come haste! Across the waste!
The king of friend and kin has need.

Now call we over the mountains cold,
'Come back unto the caverns old!'
Here at the gates the king awaits,
His hands are rich with gems and gold.

The king has come unto his hall
Under the Mountain dark and tall.
The Worm of Dread is slain and dead,
And ever so our foes shall fall!

Farewell we call to hearth and hall!
Though wind may blow and rain may fall,
We must away, ere break of day
Far over the wood and mountain tall.

To Rivendell, where Elves yet dwell
In glades beneath the misty fell.
Through moor and waste we ride in haste,
And whither then we cannot tell.

With foes ahead, behind us dread,
Beneath the sky shall be our bed,
Until at last our toil be passed,
Our journey done, our errand sped.

We must away! We must away!
We ride before the break of day!"

Ah, I didn't know they were splitting the story into 2 movies.

[treawittelf]

Whoa! I wasn't expecting this...[help]

Ok, so how much of the theatrical cut is Jackson's vs. Del Toro's?

[Pdarasenko]

I believe this is now fully Jacksons as I heard the collaboration fell through - though this was some months back. If it holds true its a shame, i admire Del Toro's style.

[Liskaspexia]

Why?! Why did I have to click this. I was quite content not remembering that this movie is not out for another year.

[jerzeygymwolf]

is it just me or does the makeup and costumes look FAR Worse than lotr 1/2/3?
Most of the people have super fake looking makeup/noses/face masks in that trailer.

[Promalada]

I read the book and many years later listened to the Audiobook and tbh, i can´t see how anyone is getting hyped about this movie.

[refdhbgtd]

Amazing. Even ten years later they can still make it feel like the Lord of the Rings movies.

I hope this new Bilbo lives up to expectations.

Can't wait for trailer 2!

[Jwskwhdo]

"I read the book and it was lame". Good one. I giggled when you mentioned the audiobook too. 9/10

Arathorn, I wouldn't worry about the song not following canon. If its the same guy who did the music for Lord of the Rings (Howard Shore, wasn't it?) then I would honestly rather his music was in there than Tolkien's. Seriously did you hear that song? Gave me the chills.

I don't agee with you there. But if there is some merit to your observation, it most likely be due to the step up in quality with the camera they used on The Hobbit, compared to the LOTR trilogy. They used the Red Epic, which is capable of 7k resolution... Not sure if they shot 7k though. Looks damn good though!

I haven't watched the trailer (no interest) but it doesn't matter what they shot it with, the trailer isn't streaming at a 7K resolution. If I had to guess (like I am now) they are very early in the post production stage and very little work has gone into this early trailer.
I actually enjoy watching early trailers after having seen the released movie to see all the glaring differences.

Even when the resolution is downgraded for screening (to 720P in this case), there is a big difference in what is translated through the footage when comparing different types of original source material.

E.g. Does a $40 20-Megapixel Camera give better quality than a $500 12-Megapixel camera? Not in the slightest. But if we want to speak about resolution alone (and not even go into quality and detail), the higher resolution enables more information to be held onto and accentuated in the post production phase, which will translate through to the output format regardless.

Another example: imagine a movie filmed straight onto a VHS tape, and the same thing filmed on a proper camera with a much higher quality shelf. Even if your intended output format is only VHS anyway, how much headroom for enhancement in the post-production process do you think the VHS source footage is going to give you compared to it's higher quality counterpart. I know this is an extreme example, but the principle is much the same. Higher quality input always results in higher quality output, unless your compression format is extremely harsh, to the point where even a VHS tape would be preferred. [rofl]

I disagree and there are a few fallacies in your reasoning.

Confused.
The $40 20-Megapixel camera is higher resolution then the $500 12mp one. You say the $40 will not be better then you go on about how the higher resolution allows more information?

Again you talk about post processing. If you have an absolute crap source, it's easier to add crappy effects that would blend seamlessly versus the painstaking detail required that a mind-boggling high quality raw would offer.
Post-processing aside (As I said it's probably not there) if you compressed all that 7k detail into a 240i video stream none of it is going to show. Downsample a 5000x5000 image in photoshop to 100x100. Downsample a 2500x2500 image to 100x100. I'll pay you money if you could accurately tell them apart.

HAH! I wasnt complaining though i see why you misunderstood - it gave me chills as well.. spose i should of clarified.. I meant raging nerd boner.

[shocked] [help] [thumbup]

Golem, I thought The Hobbit as much as I loved TLoTR... was far more enjoyable.

I cant wait to see it!

And the big thing that interests me is that they are filming this in 60fps.

Which is supposed to quell the soap opera flutter and look excellent

Oh and after watching it for about the 15th time - Glad to see Del Toro helped with the screenplay Spara! Hadnt noticed that until just now.
