The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Peter Jackson's two-film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit won't be released until exactly one year this month, but the trailer gives fans a full scope of the epic prequel to Lord of the Rings. Set in Middle-earth 60 years before Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings," the adventure of The Hobbit follows the journey of Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Familiar faces to the Lord of the Rings trilogy appear in this first preview of The Hobbit including Ian McKellen as Gandalf the Grey, Cate Blanchett as Galadriel, and Ian Holm as the elder Bilbo. Not seen in the trailer were returning cast members Orlando Bloom as Legolas; Christopher Lee as Saruman; Hugo Weaving as Elrond; Elijah Wood as Frodo; and Andy Serkis as Gollum.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will be released on December 14, 2012.

Wrath of the Titans Teaser Trailer
Battle: Los Angeles director Jonathan Liebesman takes the helm of the Warner Bros. Pictures' and Legendary Pictures' epic action adventure sequel to Clash of the Titans with Sam Worthington (Avatar) reprising his role of Perseus ten years after he saved the world from the Kraken. Academy Award® nominees Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient, the Harry Potter films) and Liam Neeson return as Hades and Zeus.
In th sequel, Perseus—the demigod son of Zeus—is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius.Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld.
Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus' godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth.
Joining Worthington, Fiennes and Neeson in the international cast are Danny Huston ("Robin Hood"), reprising his role as Poseidon, god of the sea; Edgar Ramírez ("The Bourne Ultimatum," TV miniseries "Carlos") as the traitorous god of war, Ares; Bill Nighy ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1") as Hephaestus, whose twisted, lame figure belies his Olympian origins; Toby Kebbell ("Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time") as Agenor, imprisoned thief and son of Poseidon who joins Perseus on his journey to Tartarus; and Rosamund Pike ("Barney's Version") as Andromeda, the princess whose life Perseus once saved, and who now, as a queen, follows Perseus into battle.
Wrath of the Titans is scheduled for release in March 2012.
