Peter Jackson’s final movie in the Hobbit trilogy is The Battle of the Five Armies and it’s promising to be the most emotionally intense installment yet. Here’s the latest synopsis and the first teaser trailer rests above.

“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” brings to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield and the Company of Dwarves. Having reclaimed their homeland from the Dragon Smaug, the Company has unwittingly unleashed a deadly force into the world. Enraged, Smaug rains his fiery wrath down upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town. 

Obsessed above all else with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to hoard it as Bilbo’s frantic attempts to make him see reason drive the Hobbit towards a desperate and dangerous choice. But there are even greater dangers ahead. Unseen by any but the Wizard Gandalf, the great enemy Sauron has sent forth legions of Orcs in a stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain. 

As darkness converges on their escalating conflict, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide – unite or be destroyed. Bilbo finds himself fighting for his life and the lives of his friends in the epic Battle of the Five Armies, as the future of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies hits theatres December 17. Eye a fancy new poster below.

Here’s the latest trailer for Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s highly stylized sequel Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. The black-and-white-and-red-all-over film noir hits theatres August 22. And if it performs well at the box office, Miller said a third adaptation won’t be so far off.

Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, and Clark Duke return (sans John Cusack) in a sequel to 2010’s Hot Tub Time Machine. Though this red-band trailer is nothing to call home about, they do manage to squeeze in a Fringe reference towards the very end that makes it all worth it. Out Christmas Day.
