It's funny, up to now I've been interested in this but a bit detached because LOTR was so amazing and well, The Hobbit has less Elves and more Dwarves, not to put too fine a point on it. This though has made me squee and shiver alternately and now I'm well and truly excited. The Rivendell set made me tear up and the last bit of that clip, with the beginning words of The Hobbit had me 14 again and picking up the book for the first time with a happy shiver and a grin.
Of course, Richard Armitage as Thorin and the fact Orlando Bloom will once again play Legolas, as well as the always incredible Ian McKellan also help! Can't wait!!
Oh I'm in it for Martin Freeman, I can't imagine a better Bilbo, and actually, I'm looking forward to lots of Dwarves, never was a big Elf fan, though with my fic of Sherlock as an Elf, I'm warming to them, a bit.
