C’mon, watch the 1st official trailer of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, and if you don’t feel a shudder in your heart, I’ll call you a Nazgûl –or something rhyming with that…
Will this be the last cinematic trip to Middle-Earth we’ll have? Who knows. The Tolkien universe is vast, and has proven to be a bigger treasure trove than Smaug’s lair. For myself, I’m glad Peter Jackson managed to properly close the circle on a journey he began since 1995, when he started planning on how to bring the saga of the Ring to the silver screen.
The battle commences on December 17th. Onward!
