The Hobbit movie logo on Warner Brothers’ facebook page (reproduced above) has been updated with the information that advanced ticket sales for The Hobbit: and Unexpected Journey will begin on Wednesday, November 7 at Noon Eastern Standard Time. As if the new trailer last week wasn’t exciting enough, this is starting to make it feel like this is all really happening and the day (or night) when the lights go down and we all hear Howard Shore’s music start is finally almost upon us! Anyone besides me just clear their calendars for the 7th at noon EST?

As revealed by PJ on his facebook page today – the new ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ poster. What a Hobbit Day gift! That’s one determined looking hobbit! Go and enjoy!
And in other news – our good friends over at Tolkiendrim.com have shared a report that ‘An Unexpected Journey’ will be 123 minutes long. This is according to Parisien cinema ‘Le Grand Rex’ and, as the folks at Tolkiendrim.com point out, it could be pure speculation. After all, the first Hobbit movie is, at this time, still in post production, so it’s unlikely that the final duration is known. Still, it’s interesting to speculate. Two hours and three minutes? To paraphrase a line from another well known movie, ‘Aren’t you a little short for a Peter Jackson movie?’
