We’re a little more than three months away from the release of Peter Jackson‘s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, but fortunately we have a look at Lee Pace (best known as Ned the pie maker on the television show Pushing Daisies) as the Elvenking Thranduil, the father of Legolas, from some upcoming promotional material to hold us over for a while.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Trailer
For those of you who can’t wait for the film to be released in 2-D, 3-D, and IMAX on December 14th, here’s another look at the trailer.
Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) is swept into a quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen), Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage). Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever… Gollum (Andy Serkis). Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities…
