If this trailer scrimps on anything, it’s probably the big action set pieces, although we are given a tantalising peek at the Dwarves' run-in with the trolls.
It’s going to be intriguing to see how the company fight as a pack, as LOTR’s Gimli was the lone Dwarf of the fellowship.
In the years since The Return Of The King, nothing has quite sated our appetite for large-scale fantasy set-pieces. Be thankfully that Jackson’s back to sort that out in time for next Christmas.

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!)
