The Hobbit: Trilogy Gets Final Dates + On-Set Pics
Mark your calendars for more Middle-earth! Peter Jackson has announced final film release dates and names for each movie in The Hobbit trilogy of films.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens this year on Dec. 14.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug will be released on Dec. 13, 2013.
The Hobbit: There and Back Again will be released on July 18, 2014.
While some fans question Jackson’s decision to turn J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel into a three-parter…..

…most fans are just happy they get more big screen time with their favorite characters.

Meanwhile, we have a couple new sneak peeks from this year’s film.
Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies) is taking on the Elvenking Thranduil like a rock star, sort of channeling David Bowie in Labyrinth.
You remind me of the babe….what babe? The babe with the power…
Check out more stills from the movie below:
