“That, My Lad, Was a Dragon” in the New Hobbit Trailer

Director Peter Jackson has released the first teaser trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, which is the second of The Hobbit series following The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. In the new film, Martin Freeman again plays the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins. Check out the trailer.

Benedict Cumberbatch, fresh off his turn in Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013) as well as his work in the TV series Sherlock, plays the dragon Smaug (created through motion capture), although we do not yet hear his voice in this trailer. And yes, that elf is Legolas (Orlando Bloom) from The Lord of the Rings trilogy making his debut in the Hobbit films. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug will appear in theaters starting on December 13, 2013.
