Great minds think alike! I just saw Peter Jackson's facebook post the teaser and I came here to share the link as well.

I'll go see it in theaters, but I'm really waiting for the extended version brd which should be out for Christmas '13
Seein the trailer has given me the incentive to read it for the 3rd or 4th time. Just read the Silmarillion earlier this year when the buzz for this really started up. The whole thing is so freaking amazing.
i knew smaug wasnt gonna be in the first one but just a glimpse of him in the this would have been so awesome. i think martin as bilbo is perfect.
i really need to reread this story, its been like 15 years or longer. maybe ill pick up the history of the hobbit soon. plus im interested in the other version of the story too.

Lets hope he does a better job this time than he did with the Lord of the Rings.
:?:
He messed with the story too much and made changes from the book that were unnecessary. The first part was good enough but as the films went on it became more about show than substance.

I guess we will agree to disagree

i loved the films but understand your point..different from the books ..

Same here...I think there's some nice nods, in the Extended cuts to the stuff that was left out of the book. Some Bombadil quotes/gifts from Galadriel and stuff like that. I think the Fellowship is still my favorite. I didn't need the comic relief from Gimli throughout the other 2.
Also, see why they did Saruman's death the way they did. The return journey to the Shire could've been a whole other movie.

ive read the lotr several times over the passed 20 years, and i LOVED these movies. You cannot expect him to fit EVERYTHING in. Plus, id have to admit, at times (actually a lot of the time) tolkien is very long winded, so i didnt mind a lot of what was cut. In fact i loved how Jackson pulled from the Silmarilian and the appendices to expand a bit more (for example aragorn talking about beren and luthien in the extended edition before hitting weathertop)
if anyone wants a bit of "light reading", i recommend the Silmarilian, awesome tale about the history of the elves and the creation of middle earth. to me, after reading this the lotrs made much more sense.
As of right now, I am still on book six of Tolkien's 12 volume history of middle earth. HE WROTE SO MUCH about this stuff! Hobbits, in the grand scheme of things, are only a small chapter in his vast world of middle earth...
:ugeek:
it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

I'm also reading that one right now, just finished the chapter of them making for Weathertop. Bingo and Trotter, it's so interesting to see the story grow. From them running into Gandalf on the road, and that changes into the a black rider and how the changes just keep snowballing until he got to where lotr ended up being.

also picked up the history of the hobbit, a two volume set: mr baggins and the return to bag end. havnt read these yet, but i will make sure to do so before the movie comes out next year. apparently its got all of the alternate versions like the history of middle earth vols 6 - 8. ***also includes the original chapter where bilbo meets gollum. Tolkien changed this later on to make the lotrs flow more consistently.
