Despite what I think about The Lord of the RIngs movies and how I think this one is going to be crazy boring and it's silly they stretched 1 book into so many releases, the cinematography is simply stunning.

@Crazay

"The Hobbit" films are based on 3 books, not just on the Hobbit ;)

pure sex..

Here's a higher quality version of the same trailer.

Dec. 14th? I thought this film was coming out like next year or something.

@sjaakiejj
Which "three" books would these be, because there is only ONE Hobbit book. I also think stretching a book half the size of a single one of the three Lord of the Rings volumes into three movies is a crazy move.

The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings Appendices. In addition to that, some gaps have been filled in by Peter Jackson himself in collaboration with Tolkien's grandsons.

Finally, you should remember that these books include details on major battles, which are also represented in the films. The Battle for Helms Deep took up a major part of the movie, where as it was only a few pages in the book.
