As a massive fan of the original trilogy who’s found the first two Hobbit entries to be disappointing, I’ll say the teaser for Battle of the Five Armies was actually pretty fantastic. We were also privy to the first teaser trailer for the film. Another highlight was another scene from the original trilogy in which Viggo Mortensen enters a tent to find Hugo Weaving wearing his Agent Smith glasses from The Matrix and addressing him in character. From trading quips with Jackson when he was having trouble with lines to doing a genuine strip tease in full Gandalf costume, I really hope this shows up on a Blu-ray somewhere down the line. Ian McKellen was far and away the standout, churning out gold with wonderful frequency. The first bit of footage that we saw was a collection of outtakes from the entire Tolkein saga that had never been seen before, and it was incredible. At one point, when speaking about his Tolkein trivia contest with screenwriter Boyens, Colbert began reciting an obscure poem that made the crowd erupt in applause. Colbert was the perfect person to moderate this panel, as he brought a personal (and highly knowledgeable) touch to the proceedings.
