‘The Hobbit’ Clip – I Wasn’t Talking To You

Peter Jackson shared this clip from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey featuring Gollum (played by Andy Serkis) and Bilbo Baggins (played by Martin Freeman) on his personal Facebook page. He introduced it with the simple question: “Ready?”

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey enters theaters on Friday, December 14, 2012 and stars Freeman, Serkis, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Cate Blanchett, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, and Elijah Wood.

The Plot:

The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Sorcerers.

Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever… Gollum.

Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of ingenuity and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities… A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.
