Back when The Lord of the Rings movies came out, there were promotional tie-ins at libraries in America, encouraging those inspired by the films to try the books! Now, the American Library Association has released a similar campaign for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The poster shows Bilbo reading his contract, with Galadriel, Gandalf, Thorin and Company in the background, and reads, ‘Take an unexpected journey – read’. Bookmarks and buttons are also available. Let’s hope these films create a whole new legion of Tolkien fans, who eagerly go back to the source and open up a book! Thanks to Ringer Michael S for letting us know about this!

It seems like new movie posters for The Hobbit: an Unexpected Journey, are coming out of the woodwork lately. This latest, Argentinian poster was revealed recently by Spanish movie poster site Cine1. In it, we see the great eagles soaring above a forest, with Gandalf and Thorin (with weapons drawn) in the foreground. As with many of the ‘new’ posters coming out lately, this one is a scene taken from the Hobbit scroll put out by Warner Bros. in early September. Still, it’s a nice close-up and a nice shot for a poster. Read more…
A poster related to The Hobbit: and Unexpected Journey has appeared on the Film Cells Ltd.com site. The poster is a collage of various pictures of the four members of the White Council in the movie: Galadriel, Elrond, Gandalf and Saruman (before he turned rogue). The White Council was formed at the suggestion of Galadriel to discuss what to do about the growing darkness in the Third Age, a darkness that would later be revealed to be none other than the dark lord Sauron himself. This gorgeous poster is for sale at the Film Cells Ltd.com site. Check it out.
