Video: 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' Preview

Peter Jackson's anticipated two-part prequel to his Lord of the Rings trilogy brings back a slew of your favorite Tolkien characters (and noted thespians) including Cate Blanchett, Ian Holm, Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, and Orlando Bloom. The new series will introduce Martin Freeman (Tim of The Office UK fame), Stephen Fry, Evangeline Lilly, Luke Evans, and Lee Pace to Middle Earth. Sadly, however, you won't get to see it until December 2012. Until then, enjoy this too-brief preview of the first installment, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
