The first brief look at the final instalment in The Hobbit trilogy has been released – and it’s grim.
As might be expected from the title, the one-minute 50-second Warner Bros trailer for The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies is all about war.
There are lots of swords and armour, bows and arrows, elves, dwarves and orcs.
According to the blurb accompanying the trailer, dwarf leader Thorin Oakenshield is obsessed with his reclaimed treasure, for which he sacrifices friendship and honour.
Hobbit Bilbo Baggins is driven towards a desperate and dangerous choice in his attempt to make Thorin see reason.
“But there are even greater dangers ahead. Unseen by any but the Wizard Gandalf, the great enemy Sauron has sent forth legions of orcs in a stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain.”
