This trailer, coming approximately three months before the film lands in wide release in theaters, will likely be the first specific look at the first of the three films, &#8220;The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey&#8221; based on J.R.R. Tolkien&#8217;s book The Hobbit, celebrating its 75th anniversary. It may give us clues about what to expect as it tries to sell the film to a mainstream audience.<\/p>\n<p>Most interesting from the release is the phrase: &#8220;The new trailer is set to debut on broadcast and online media on September 19, 2012, then roll out in theaters around the world throughout the day.&#8221; So the obvious news is that the trailer will be broadcast, but where? Where online? And what films will it roll out with in theaters? There are several films scheduled for release on the 21st, including &#8220;Dredd,&#8221; &#8220;House at the End of the Street,&#8221; and Warner Bros., own, &#8220;Trouble with the Curve,&#8221; but none on the 19th. This probably means theaters have the trailers today with instructions to add them to existing films starting Wednesday. If that is true, each theater will have the option, so those wishing to watch the trailer on the big screen should call local movie houses.<\/p>\n<p>TORn will update with any specifics but for now, here is the full press release:<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\nWARNER BROS.
