Peter Jackson has just a few hours ago posted the following on his Facebook wall:

Hi everyone! This year is the tenth anniversary of the release of The Fellowship of the Ring, and we wanted to give the fans a Christmas treat ahead of the release of the two Hobbit movies in Dec 2012 and 2013. Stay tuned for more. Cheers!

Those who don’t have a Facebook account need not worry. Peter Jackson’s wall is public and can be accessed even by those without a Facebook account.

Be sure to tune in to TORn for detailed analysis on everything Hobbit-related that’s coming our way.

The Tolkien community is, as always, ready to pitch in to help each other. We have a growing list of theaters where The Hobbit trailer did not play with the The Adventures of Tintin. While that film comes personally highly recommended (and with plenty of LOTR community ties including Weta Digital and Weta Workshop) readers here will likely want to catch the first new look at Middle-earth before they see it. This is not a definitive list and according to theater managers results might even change. We recommend calling before you go as box office sales agents aren’t likely to know the answer. Many theaters have issued a free ticket for a later screening to fans who very politely explain their disappointment. For every reader who wrote in with a city and theater specified, two wrote and didn’t include that information so this is far from an isolated incident. See the list after the break.

UPDATE! We’ve added our frame by frame analysis to TORn now with a full page of Hobbity goodness. Find it right HERE.

As you can imagine, the poor TheOneRing.net server has been hammered and is crumbling under the pressure of a trailer release. As a result, we’ve added our first pass at a Hobbit Trailer frame-by-frame analysis as a gallery on our Facebook page. Check it out and share your thoughts/opinions! [Facebook Frame-by-Frame]

And of course, enjoy the trailer right here on TORn and then visit the official website TheHobbit.com!

After a flurry of internet activity with the Hobbit dropping on the world, a trip to the cinema was in order to see that same trailer on the big screen. The problem was, it wasn’t there, at least with the some 3D versions of the latest Tintin movie. If you viewed Tintin and it did NOT have The Hobbit trailer attached please email Email MrCere@TheOneRing.net with the subject “No trailer”. If you saw Tintin with a trailer, congrats, but please don’t send mail. Reports are coming in that various 3D Tintin screenings do not feature the trailer and instead has glasses-needed viewings of The Phantom Menance, Titantic, Madagascar 3 and The Lorax. The widely reported attachment to Tintin (great flick by the way) seems to apply to the regular format of the film. We are seeking official word and will update you as we can but lots of screenings have the same 3D report.
