“Prepare for the defining moment of the Middle-Earth Legend”…Warner Bros has unveiled the official trailer for the final final of The Hobbit series, The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies directed by Peter Jackson and starring Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, and Ian McKellen. The new trailer is more about the characters saying important things rather than the action, but it does show off footage Jackson and the studio hadn’t yet revealed.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies will open in theaters on December 17, 2014. The cast also includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Evangeline Lilly, Lee Pace, Luke Evans, Orlando Bloom, and Stephen Fry.
The Plot:
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies brings to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield and the Company of Dwarves. Having reclaimed their homeland from the Dragon Smaug, the Company has unwittingly unleashed a deadly force into the world. Enraged, Smaug rains his fiery wrath down upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town.
Obsessed above all else with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to hoard it as Bilbo’s frantic attempts to make him see reason drive the Hobbit towards a desperate and dangerous choice. But there are even greater dangers ahead. Unseen by any but the Wizard Gandalf, the great enemy Sauron has sent forth legions of Orcs in a stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain.
As darkness converges on their escalating conflict, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide – unite or be destroyed. Bilbo finds himself fighting for his life and the lives of his friends in the epic Battle of the Five Armies, as the future of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.
