The latest trailer for The Hobbit is suitably epic, although I’m disappointed in the apparent absence of Mirkwood spiders. I’m guessing we won’t see them until the second installment. This whole turning-one-book-into-a-trilogy business still strikes me as a dubious proposition. The dragon Smaug is featured in only a few pages of the novel, which makes me wonder whether Peter Jackson will significantly expand his role in the final chapter. Or Gollum’s, for that matter. But as long as we don’t get scene after scene of slapstick dwarves, I’m sure the first chapter will more than exceed my standards for awesomeness.
