“This is Sting. You’ve seen it before, haven’t you?!”
Yep, if that sword’s looking familiar, it’s because it’s the one Frodo wielded in the Mines of Moria (and elsewhere). Glowing blue whenever there is orc danger near, this is pretty much an essential item for mythical quests.
It’s also the first hint we get that homebody Bilbo will have to step up to become a hero, rather that just supping on endless cups of tea and scoffing second-breakfasts.
And there's Thorin’s foreboding warning, “I cannot guarantee his safety… Nor will I be responsible for his fate”, which ties in with Gandalf’s closing line of the trailer.

Gandalf is fighting Thrain II in that image/scene, and that shot of Bilbo glancing at the Ring takes place in Mirkwood hence the thick spider-webs. /rant

Can't wait for this, what with The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers aswell, 2012 could be one of the best film years ever :D

Maybe the reason for the absences is they feature in the second film...

@storage1129 the ring shot is not Mirkwood. He always found it in the Goblin tunnels because it is when "Riddles In The Dark" happens

willow138 -- He finds it in the Goblin tunnels, yeah, but tthat is a Mirkwood shot. The lighting, vegetation and spider-webs are a dead give away. Do you doubt that at one point Bilbo would not drop the Ring being surprised (or tussle with) by Ungoliant's children?

Does anyone know if we're gonna get a Theatrical cut and an Extended cut like before? (wish they'd done that with the Potter films too!)
