Sometimes it feels like films studios like to see just how little they can get away with while getting fans excited about upcoming flicks. The second trailer for THE HOBBIT has recently been released and unless you’ve memorized the first one, the differences are almost unnoticeable.
There are only four seconds of new footage in the trailer while the rest of it remains the same as the original. Watch the two videos one after the other and see if you can spot the differences!

It took us a few tries, too! At 0:23, Bilbo looks perplexed instead of smoking his pipe. At 1:57 there’s footage of Bilbo cowering in fear and peeking out between some leaves. Finally, footage of Gandalf and the dwarves running in a forest replaces the shot of Gandalf and the dwarves fighting in a battle…and that’s it!
Despite the fact that both videos are practically the same thing, the trailer still gave us chills! The movie seems to be a good interpretation of THE HOBBIT by J.R.R. Tolkien – the book on which the film is based. THE HOBBIT is a prequel to the events in THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy and will be released in three installments. It’ll be interesting to see where in the plot this first movie will end.
