bilbo looks Moments ago, the teaser trailer for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies went live on the internet.

One minute and forty-eight seconds of epic, set to Billy Boyd heartbreaking tune from The Return of the King, The Edge of Night. At this point we think it’s worth reminding you of what one of our spies said to us just a couple of weeks back: “it’s going to make us [all] cry!”
