But still, what I said above, holds.

An argument in favour of it being
more epic can be demonstrated in the contrast between RTD era Doctor Who and Moffat era Doctor Who. The former was epic, the latter wanted to be more 'fairy tale' - and it just doesn't work as well especially when you are
expecting 'epic'. I think to be 'fairytale' in film a modern audience just can't take it without hefty dollops of irony (see
Stardust - one of my favourite films, incidentally) and I'd rather not have loads of irony in The Hobbit.
However...this is a trailer and they're known for ramping up the action and it may all turn out differently in the final cut. And Martin Freeman has a knack for carrying off a role like Bilbo with a light touch.

That would mean it was Kili, and being a seasoned Aidan Turner watcher (ahem) I'm
sure it's not him.
