Most geeks agree that of all fantasy and sci-fi movie adaptations, the Lord of the Rings trilogy stands among the best. Lord of the Rings was finished in 2003 and while Jackson has worked on several films, including 'District 9,' none have come close to the acclaim he received for his work with the One Ring. Until now.

Enter, 'The Hobbit.' This week, a few stills were released to Entertainment Weekly in which we see younger Bilbo (Martin Freeman) and Gandalf (Ian McKellen), almost 80 years before the events in LOTR.

This is going to be awesome.

'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,' the first of two films is set to be released December, 2012.
