Watch the brand new, extended trailer for Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug'

Last month, Warner Brothers Studios and Peter Jackson premiered a brand new trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. In it, we got our first look at Smaug, the main antagonist of the J.R.R. Tolkien story, voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch. Though it was just a short tease, this week we can watch a brand new trailer that is over three minutes long. We now have an even bigger look at the next chapter of Jackson's Hobbit franchise, opening December 13.

Here is the official synopsis of The Desolation of Smaug:

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. Having survived the beginning of their unexpected journey, the Company continues East, encountering along the way the skin-changer Beorn and a swarm of giant Spiders in the treacherous Mirkwood Forest. 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.

Now take a look at some brand new footage from the upcoming Hobbit sequel right here:
