Before a new trailer’s premiere that is happening tomorrow, October 1st, at 6am PT / 9am ET, Warner Bros. unveiled two new banners, one of them featuring Lee. “Lee Pace is the Elvenking, Thranduil, in TheHobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” the Hobbit production team tweeted an hour ago, enclosing an amazing shot.

The second banner shows Martin Freeman as the young Bilbo, accompanied by Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield, Aidan Turner as Kili, Dean O’Gorman as Fili, and Graham McTavish as Dwalin, who are trying to cut through the spiders’ webs.

The second installment of Peter Jackson’s prequel is going to hit the cinemas this December.

According to James Gunn, Lee’s thinking of joining one of the most popular social networks. Guardians of the Galaxy director answered some fan questions on his spring.me page. “He’s awesome. Lee has been working a lot lately,” he said. “He considers going on twitter often and then backs out of it. In all fairness, it’s probably the healthy decision,” Gunn revealed. Hopefully, Lee’s going to change his mind soon.

We haven’t heard much about Guardians of Galaxy lately, but there are finally some news out. The official production still featuring Lee Pace as Ronan and Karen Gillan as Nebula have been taken by British photographer James Beddoes a week ago. He posted on Instagram: “Can’t believe I just got to look at official production still from Guardians of the Galaxy of Ronan and Nebula! I can’t describe how cool they look and how much it made my day!” He says the costumes look amazing and “Lee Pace is going to be amazing as Ronan, he looks even cooler then Thanos did in Avengers!” When being asked how Lee looks like as Ronan, James kindly described what he’s seen, “He has a lot of prosthetics on his forehead and chin but you can tell it’s his face, his skin is a similar blue colour to mystique in the X-men films!”

Chris Pratt, who plays Peter Quill / Star-Lord, shared on twitter that only 14 days of principal photography remain. “As of today we are 83.1325301% finished with #GOTG 69/83=X/100 Rithmatic,” he posted.

We also have a shot of Guardians of Galaxy film crew T-shirt (pictured right). Looks great, doesn’t it?

Guardians of the Galaxy is slated for release on Aug. 1, 2014.
