Latest: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies trailer Colin D Miller July 29, 2014 Latest News and Videos 1663 The first trailer for the final instalment of The Hobbit trilogy has finally been released. Giving us our a glimpse of Smaug’s wrath, Thorin’s arrogance and the general epic scale of Peter Jackson’s take on Middle-earth, the teaser is played out along to Pippin’s Song (Edge of Night) from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King – a neat little touch that connects the two trilogies. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is due for release in the UK on 12 December 2014.
