The Hobbit Trifecta: First Clip, Lawsuit, Japanese Poster
? Here’s your first look at a clip from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey…and it’s a doozy. I defy anyone to not start weeping when Gandalf launches into his insights on what true courage is. Real talk: The mountains aren’t the only thing that are going to be misty when this flick comes out. The Hobbit is going to emotionally wreck me and I CAN’T WAIT.
? Warner Brothers is suing The Asylum over the upcoming release of their mockbuster Age of the Hobbits. The Hollywood Reporter has the details about the lawsuit, which provides a peek behind the curtain to reveal the complexity of intellectual property cases like this one. Transmorphers fans, take note.

? Here’s a stunning Japanese poster for The Hobbit. Usually snark is my default setting when I see contemporary movie posters. This time though? Not a chance, it’s beautiful.(Via First Showing)
