Nope. That headline wasn’t a typo. Even though the first chapter of THE HOBBIT hasn’t hit cinemas yet, the hype machine is already gearing up for 2014’s part three, THERE AND BACK AGAIN. And this should make of you Orlando Bloom fans verrry happy indeed. Check it out below…

Swoon! Also making its way online today is a new image from next week’s HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, featuring the first reveal of Gandalf and co. facing down The Great Goblin…

And if that doesn’t satisfy your HOBBIT needs, how about a 13-minute featurette?

THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY is released December 14th 2012; THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG December 13th 2013; and THERE AND BACK AGAIN on July 18th 2014.
