The first trailer for the second Hobbit film, the wonderfully titled The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, has arrived and it is looked glorious and it isn't a bunch of sitting around talking, drinking and laughing, this is an action trailer.

There's also a nice glimpse at the end of our titular character, the second one I mean, not the Hobbit.

The second in the three Hobbit films looks set to deliver much more excitement, in fact the trailer is nothing but, ending in a nice reveal of the Dragon and his treasure. Along the way are familiar faces and characters as well as some new ones.

The film will be released in 3D and 48 frames per second, as was the first, on December the 13th, a wee bit of a wait then so there will be more trailers to come.

Here's the first trailer which comes through First Showing. Enjoy the trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, it's pretty damn good.
