Stunning shots. From the look of it going to be a bit "darker" in mood than the book

Martin Freeman looks excellent as Bilbo

Excellent!

Really looking forwards to this movie, and i like the darker look & feel.

The book is quite dark at times.  Some quite unpleasant things go on like being captured and nearly eaten by spiders, Bilbo meeting Gollum and cheating him out of the the ring, lots of misery and cold in the mountains etc.  It's certainly not the Mister Men.  ;)

What's the expected release date?  I'm really looking forward to this.

I didn't realise James Nesbitt was in it either.

The Klingon in the first picture kind of threw me.  Otherwise, looking very rich and good fun.
