A fake movie trailer for Lord of the Rings prequel The Hobbit has made its way onto the internet.
The fantasy two-minute clip - available here - was created by 26-year-old film studies student Steve Latham, using clips from The Fellowship of the Ring and 1981 movie Dragonslayer.
The trailer, which has gained acclaim from many fans of the books, gives a release date of December 19, 2006.
Production on the movie - should it go ahead at all - will not be able to begin until director Peter Jackson has finished shooting a remake of King Kong. Meanwhile, film studio New Line is still in negotiations with MGM to acquire the distribution rights to the book.
