This familiar chap rather ominously features in this week’s trailer.

I, like many people, am a very big fan of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. So it was with much antipation that I checked out the first trailer for his forthcoming adaptation of The Hobbit.

Have to say though, I was pretty underwhelmed by this. The weird songs, the sheer lack of action or even adventure. Seems like Jackson and co thought a glimpse of Gandalf and Gollum would suffice. Anyone more excited than me by this?
