Sorry Hobbit fans, but there will be no new footage at Comic-Con this year for THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG. In his latest video blog, director Peter Jackson shared that with all the work on the next Hobbit film, there was no time to put together a decent sizzle reel.

And in case you missed the farewell to Legolas/Orlando Bloom, watch the “They’re taking the Hobbits to Isengard” video.

The second in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG continues the adventures of the title character Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he journeys with the Wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) on an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor.

THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG opens nationwide on Friday December 13, 2013. The final chapter, THE HOBBIT: THERE AND BACK AGAIN, will hit theaters on December 17, 2014.
