Watch The New The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug Production Diary 12 Released by Peter Jackson

It's been centuries since the last production vlog from The Hobbit was released -- where we've seen for the first time Dwarves do some very challenging work out. Who wouldn't be cross about that... until came the next vlog and all our rage and impatience melted away leaving us coy and forgiving fans once again... Lucky Peter Jackson.

And here here the newly released official poster of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

And here is a new trailer as well. It features a lot of new scenes that is enough to send you off to an early Christmas celebration.

In the new The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Production Diary # 12 we get to see some additional shots while the team is finishing up with the whole production. The most exciting part though is when Evangeline Lilly, who plays the Silvan elf Tauriel, gave an interview and discussed about her character.
