Warner Bros Pictures has released the announcement trailer for "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey." The film stars Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen and Richard Armitage and is based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien. The first in a two-part saga, 'An Unexpected Journey' is scheduled to release on Dec. 14, 2012. Director Peter Jackson decided to film the movie in 3D, using RED EPIC cameras (see a video diary here).

Discovery Channel's "Whale Wars" will go another season on the Animal Planet network, giving Paul Watson and the Sea Shepherd additional fuel to chase down Japanese whaling ships. Discovery first premiered "Whale Wars" in November, 2008 and has since aired 31 episodes. Season Five will begin in June, 2012.
