Curses - can't see it from work!  :(

So good, I love it!  I feel like I've seen that trailer before though, it's definitely not new.  My only issue is how somber the whole thing feels.  For me the main difference between the Hobbit compared to the Lord of the Rings trilogy is that the Hobbit was always more filled with whimsy, humor, and a general light hearted tone while with LOTR everything was so much more grim and serious.  I hope this film doesn't lose the sense of fun and whimsy I've associated with the Hobbit my whole life.  This isn't the war of the Ring, after all...

I read an article that Sauraman will make an appearance, and he is being played as wise and kind - before being corrupted by the Palantir in the LOTR.

Let's hope I can get into the panel.. to me it's worth standing in line for a few hours.. but more then three hours is to much for me.

I suggest hiding yourself in a barrel, and being rolled into the room.  Or better yet, ride one..hide your friends in the barrels...
