This week the trailer for the famously troubled Hobbit movie finally appeared. The sheer amount of shares of the trailer on my Facebook feed alone I think is a good indication of the anticipation for this movie.
The trailer succeeds as a callback to what we all loved about The Lord of the Rings Trilogy but exciting (although it reveals very little) to see what will make this movie different. Martin Freeman. It looks like he will bring a tremendous amount of verve and his impeccable comic timing.
It retains the same sense of danger and adventure that was consistent in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy but with a more lovable character at its centre.
This is more Pip and Merry, and less Frodo, if you know what I mean.
My favourite moment is when Gandalf and Galadriel look at each other serenely and she brushes aside a long strand of his grey hair. I can't wait to see that scene played out in its entirety. It's so wonderful to see Ian McKellen in the cloak and floppy hat again. His is a truly wonderful portrayal that we so easily take for granted just because he's one of our great actors.
