Excellent fan-produced trailer for The Hobbit. The prequel that most everyone wants Peter Jackson to make

It does indeed. The music in the trailer is a re-scored version of Lux Aeterna from the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack...the same song that appeared in the trailer for Two Towers.

I want him to start working with original material again.

Do a lot of people want PJ to do The Hobbit? I consider myself a pretty big LOTR fan, yet I think The Hobbit might be better off left as a book. The Hobbit is considerably more light-hearted and anecdotal than LOTR, and I think I read somewhere that Tolkien meant for The Hobbit to be a story that could stand alone and less of a prequel. So I think Jackson would have a hard time making The Hobbit into a suitably exciting movie--and it would definitely be hard to live up to the epic-ness of LOTR.

Sure, it's well-edited, but it doesn't really show off much of The Hobbit, IMO. Yes, it has Gandalf, Bilbo, and Smaug. But where's the spiders, dwarves, eagles, and treasure? Blah.

Tolkien meant it as a stand-alone and not a prequel because it was a stand-alone. The popularity of the book had the publishers begging him to write a sequel, so he made lord of the rings.
And they actually hired a good actor to play Bilbo in LOTR. They've gotta give him his own movie now!

11220, you're not missing anything by not having sound. It's actually rather boring. (Even some captions would have improved it considerably.)
