The Hobbit: New Poster Released

A new poster for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has been released to the world - featuring Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins.

Unveiled to mark "Hobbit Day" - the fictional birthday of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins - the promo poster shows former The Office star Freeman clutching a sword and looking determined.

Activity in "Tolkien Week", which has also seen the 75th anniversary of The Hobbit's publication, also included a new trailer for the Peter Jackson movie.

The director admitted his desire to direct an episode of Doctor Who last week.
