Warner Bros. and New Line are now bringing the unstoppable marketing machine for The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies onto the small screen. After yet another full-length trailer landed last week, we’re now into go-big-or-go-home territory. When it comes to ensuring the public at large knows about the closing chapter in Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth saga, the assault had to be taken to TV!
So, does the 30 second teaser enchant us with any new footage of the saga? Let’s put it this way, it delves into the majesty of the final instalment, showcasing a host of creatures and a frightened little Bilbo. So that could go either way, really. With an extensive running time, there’s plenty of footage to assemble into new previews. However, it’s a real treat to witness the spectacle of the Middle Earth movies first on the big screen, so if you choose not to watch today’s latest clip – we won’t hold it against you.
The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies storms into cinemas worldwide on December 17th.
“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” brings to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield and the Company of Dwarves. Having reclaimed their homeland from the Dragon Smaug, the Company has unwittingly unleashed a deadly force into the world. Enraged, Smaug rains his fiery wrath down upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town. Obsessed above all else with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to hoard it as Bilbo’s frantic attempts to make him see reason drive the Hobbit towards a desperate and dangerous choice. But there are even greater dangers ahead. Unseen by any but the Wizard Gandalf, the great enemy Sauron has sent forth legions of Orcs in a stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain. As darkness converges on their escalating conflict, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide – unite or be destroyed. Bilbo finds himself fighting for his life and the lives of his friends in the epic Battle of the Five Armies, as the future of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.
