Recently there'd been a lot of buzz surrounding the release of the trailer of The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies and director Peter Jackson has finally stepped into clarify some details regarding the trailer for the final in The Hobbit trilogy.

Jackson posted a message on his Facebook account on July 3 to quell fan curiosity:

"Thank you all for your responses to my posting about Lorri and Damien's book. Of course, many of you asked about the Hobbit Trailer. So, yes - there will be a Hobbit Trailer. But like the previous two years, it's not going to be released until around Oct. The complex VFX work required to produce the battle shots we're all wanting to see are simply not far enough along yet.

However ... yesterday I finished work on a Teaser Trailer and that has just been delivered to Warner Bros. So no doubt this Teaser Trailer will be making it's way into the world sometime soon...

Cheers,

Peter J"

So it seems like while the "teaser trailer" will be in soon, it's going to be a bit of a wait for the full-length trailer.

The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies will hit theaters on Dec. 18.
