Four new banners for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey feature vegetarian dwarves, darkness, Gollum, and Gandalf

We are so close to getting THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY on big screens, you can almost smell the Hobbit feet! We are two months away, people! Two months from returning to Middle-Earth!

These four new banners continue the trend we have seen so far of mixing the humor and lighter nature of THE HOBBIT as compared to THE LORD OF THE RINGS while continuing to display the sheer coolness of the set and character design that Peter Jackson and his team have put into making Tolkien’s world come to life. I especially like the shot of the dwarves eating inside Bilbo’s home. Who knew dwarves even ate vegetables? They look more like meat and mead kind of dudes.

Plot: “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” follows title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the 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 Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters 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 guile 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.

THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY opens everywhere on December 14th.
