‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’: Teaser Poster plus All Official Photos

An Unexpected Journey was an effective fantasy adventure but it didn’t reach the epic bar set by The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Bilbo and company will try again in 6 months with The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

Take a look at the teaser poster, the first photo of Evangeline Lilly as the Elf warrior Tauriel (via EW), and a video slideshow with all other official images released until now.

Smaug the dragon -sounding like Benedict Cumberbatch- arrives in 3D December 13.
