It’s Time for War in New ‘Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies’ Trailer

The third entry in Peter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy has had its share of teases and title changes, and now The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies has a new trailer.

Focusing on the kind of majestic, epic war sequences that brought the original Lord of the Rings trilogy to a close, the trailer features a threatening Lee Pace, an earnest Martin Freeman and more CG creatures than you’re likely to see the rest of the year. It’s an enticing glimpse at what Jackson and his team have in store — and the film itself will be in theaters on Dec. 17.
