THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY... In December of next year, Peter Jackson is set to unveil the first installment of his film adaptation of another beloved J.R.R. Tolkien book. Set before the events of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey focuses on the Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins...who must venture up the Lonely Mountain with a group of dwarves to recover a treasure that was taken from them by the dragon Smaug. Even though The Hobbit is a prequel to Jackson’s Oscar-winning film series, An Unexpected Journey sees the return of Hugo Weaving as Elrond, Elijah Wood as Frodo, Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf the Grey, Cate Blanchett as Galadriel, Orlando Bloom as Legolas, Andy Serkis as Gollum and Christopher Lee as the evil Saruman. Martin Freeman plays the role of Bilbo Baggins.

An Unexpected Journey is set to be released in theaters nationwide on December 14, 2012, while The Hobbit: There and Back Again will be released at the cinemas on December 13, 2013, respectively.
