So, it seems that we’re going to be drip-fed a photo a day until the San Diego Comic-Con Hall H presentation.<\/p>\n

Today, it’s one of Gandalf meeting Thranduil in what seems to be a wintry and ruined Dale. Those following the Gandagast staff kerfuffle will note that Gandy has his old staff in this one. The one he lost in Dol Guldur just recently. <\/p>\n

To me, that suggests either, this is a flashback to some past event, or that a bunch of folks really forgot about continuity. Or that they’re just messing with us.<\/p>\n

I’ll leave it to you to decide which theory you prefer — or suggest your own below that makes sense of the conflicting evidence!<\/p>\n

UPDATE: we now have a high-resolution still courtesy of our friends over at El Anillo \u00danico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aforesaid photo comes with a few words from Philippa Boyens, who says:<\/p>\n

\n“People tend to forget what happens at the end of The Hobbit,” says screenwriter\/producer Philippa Boyens. “They think of this little children’s book. The rest of the story needs to be told, and it’s pretty intense stuff.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks to everyone who wrote in to let us know about this one!<\/p>\n
