WATCH: The Next 'Hobbit' Is Almost Here

A new trailer for 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' has been released, on the same day that it was announced the film is due in cinemas in December.

"We haven't finished the movie, it's pretty intense at the moment," he told the audience at Wellington's Embassy cinema in New Zealand.
