After quit a drought of no information, Peter Jackson posted an update to his Facebook page about The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies. In the post, he says while the first theatrical trailer isn't coming until October due to the complex visual effects required, the teaser trailer is done and in Warner Bros. hands so just a matter of time before get our first look at the final film of the trilogy. My guess is it will be attached to a film in last August or early September once WB marketing lines up the usual magazine interviews (EW cover, Empire cover, USA Today article etc.) and the like that tends to go with teaser release. Below is Jackson's post.

Of course, many of you asked about the Hobbit Trailer. So, yes - there will be a Hobbit Trailer. But like the previous two years, it’s not going to be released until around Oct. The complex VFX work required to produce the battle shots we’re all wanting to see are simply not far enough along yet.

However … yesterday I finished work on a Teaser Trailer and that has just been delivered to Warner Bros. So no doubt this Teaser Trailer will be making it’s way into the world sometime soon…

Cheers,

Peter J
