First Trailer For The Hobbit Due Wednesday

We've got our first proper look at The Dark Knight Rises this week with the release of a full trailer for the movie (I'll post a video link as soon as one becomes possible, but sufficed to say it's fantastic!), and now it's been confirmed that we don't have long to wait until the first promo for Peter Jackson's megamoth prequel The Hobbit either. In fact, we're going to be able to see the trailer for the two new films, which take place before the award-winning The Lord of the Rings movies, on Wednesday at 3am. The tale follows a young Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he ventures over mountains and lands to reclaim the ancient lost treasure of the Dwarves (Richard Armitage; Sylvester McCoy etc) from the evil dragon Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch), while meeting along the way a tormented creature called Gollum (Andy Serkis), enslaved by a gold ring which may one day hold the key to the future of Middle-Earth! I'll post the trailer here as soon as I get it...The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey releases on December 14th 2012, while the second part The Hobbit: There And Back Again hits cinemas on December 13th 2013.
