Earlier this year, a teaser trailer for Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug was released and it definitely embodied the term "teaser." We got a short glimpse at the notorious dragon, Smaug, and his first interaction with the main character, Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman). Today we get a better look at the dragon and get to hear Benedict Cumberbatch's voice for Smaug as well! Plus we check back in with the characters from 2012' An Unexpected Journey.

Check out the first full-length trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug right here:

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug opens on December 13. Here is the film's official synopsis: 

From Academy Award®-winning filmmake rPeter Jackson comes "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," the second in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. The film continues the adventure of the title character Bilbo Baggins as he journeys with the Wizard Gandalf and thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield, on an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor.

After escaping capture by the dangerous Woodland Elves, the Dwarves journey to Lake-town, and finally to the Lonely Mountain itself, where they must face the greatest danger of all-a creature more terrifying than any before, which will test not only the depth of their courage but the limits of their friendship and the wisdom of the journey itself-the Dragon Smaug.
