Gorgeous new Hobbit poster unveiled by Peter Jackson

Peter Jackson has revealed a new poster for 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' on his Facebook page. What a nice chap.

Have a look below...

It's an exclusive poster for Comic Con, which starts on July 12. 'The Hobbit' presentation will be one of the hot tickets at the pop-culture event.

The rather lovely image sees rascally wizard Gandalf, once again played by Sir Ian McKellen, wandering through the lush green meadows of (possibly) the Shire. All is not well though, judging by moody storm clouds loitering above. That, people, is a metaphor.

The first installment of the two-part 'Hobbit' adaptation stars Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins and is released in the UK on 14 December.
