Warner Bros has unveiled, via EW, a massive panoramic banner for Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Click here for full-size image.

The epic scroll shows ten scenes featuring Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, Ian McKellen as Gandalf the Grey, Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield, Jed Brophy as Nori, James Nesbitt as Bofur and many others. It also gives a first look at the character Beorn, a woodsman who has the ability to transform himself into a bear.

The banner for the first of the two Hobbit movies was released for the Comic Con that starts this Thursday in San Diego. Jackson is set to travel to California and it is expected that more details about the movie will be released during a Hobbit panel on Saturday.

After 266 days of shooting The Hobbit was completed last Friday and the stars celebrated the wrap on Saturday. On Sunday Jackson posted a new poster on his Facebook account.

Shooting for both films was done simultaneously, but after the first movie premieres in November in Wellington, further work is expected to continue on the sequel next year.
