The most anticipated trailer had finally reached the interwebs as Warner Bros. proudly presents the premiere of The Tolkien masterpiece that started the saga of Lord of the Rings.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to everyone The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.  Watch the trailer after the jump.

The Hobbit” follows the journey of 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 Oakensheild. 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.

Excited?  Definitely.  Well we have to be patient for now before it finally hits our shore next year.  Starring Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis, Cate Blanchett, Elijah Wood, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Ian McKellen.  To be directed by one and only Peter Jackson, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is from Newline Cinema to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
