The Hobbit (2012)

The trailer is all over the web over the last 48 hours. The cast I didn't see, but to note, it's nice to see people like Aidan Turner (the BBC's Being Human) and Lee Pace (Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies), and Evangeline Lilly (Lost)

And of course Martin Freeman, Hugo Weaving, Sir Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett, Andy Sirkis and Richard Armitage who I had known all about.

John Rhys-Davies? maybe his character is was too young during The Hobbit period vs LOTR's.
I do wonder what this movie might have been like had Guillermo Del Toro been able to direct it (as originally planned).
