Default The Hobbit trailer released

I know there are already threads about "The Hobbit" and "movie trailers" but I thought this deserves it's own thread just so it doesn't get missed buried in an existing thread.

The links directly to Apple trailers is not working but you can watch the trailer buy following these steps:

1. Open Qucktime
2. File-> Open Url
3. paste in http://trailers.apple.com/movies/wb/...lr1_h1080p.mov

or if you only want it in 720 paste in this: http://trailers.apple.com/movies/wb/...tlr1_h720p.mov

Next Christmas is a long time away.

Between The Hobbit, Batman, and the Avengers, 2012 should be an amazing year at the cinema.

I assume this will be in 3d as well?

I don't get the hype. Besides some pretty cool special effects, that trailer make it look like a terrible movie. I honestly thought it was a parody at first.

Not only that, but it's also being shot in 48 frames per second rather than the conventional 24. That, in my opinion, is a much more exciting and worthwhile innovation in film than 3D.

You don't even wear pants.

It looks good, but it's the typical trailer of a movie a year away... lots of characters standing around talking and a few shots of pretty sets.

Probably get something significantly more compelling around June.
