WATCH: Epic seven-minute ‘trailer’ for ‘The Hobbit’

No, the video below isn’t actually an official trailer for Peter Jackson’s hotly-anticipated Middle Earth epic, “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” but it is a masterful complation of every single piece of video released so far about the film.

Combining trailers, teasers, and TV spots, the fan-made 7:37 video tracks the tale of “The Hobbit” in chronological order from Gandalf’s (Ian McKellen) recruitment of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) to the reintroduction of Gollum (Andy Serkis) and his “precious” ring.

In between there are shots of fighting rock monsters, glamourous elves, and orcs of all shapes and sizes.

And don’t worry about the “trailer” ruining December’s “The Hobbit: An Unexexpected Journey,” because it also contains footage from the two following films, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” and “The Hobbit: There and Back Again” which are gonig to be released in 2013 and 2014 respectively.
