The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug trailer

October 1, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is The Desolation of Smaug trailer we’ve been expecting to air today. What we weren’t expecting was two and a half minutes that ooze Middle Earth and features certain elves. What do you think? Tempted? Re-energised for the trilogy?

99 seconds to recap the Lord of the Rings

July 26, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment
