Meta-Hobbit

Okay, this is neat but a bit complicated, so stay with me. This is the teaser trailer for the second Hobbit film, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. The trailer was available Tuesday, earlier than expected. The movie won't be out for months.

  

Sisters Kellie and Alex produce the web series The Happy Hobbit and contribute to TheOneRing.net. They discovered the Hobbit trailer had been posted to YouTube and recorded their reaction to it.



They put it on their Facebook page, and Peter Jackson, the director of all those LOTR movies, saw it. Jackson showed the sisters' reaction video to some of the cast members. In costume. And recorded it.





When Kellie and Alex discovered Jackson's video, they had to record their reaction to it, too.



I guess I would have reacted the same way. Wouldn't you? (via Metafilter)
