Has anyone seen this? It's claimed to be a trailer from The Hobbit...it's so obviously fake, because the only scenes the "trailer" shows are a bunch from Fellowship of the Ring, like during the beginning when Bilbo grabs the ring. About 50 seconds into the trailer they show some scenes where a dragon (who i'm guessing is Smaug) is flying through a village lighting up buildings, then it shows what looks to be like Bilbo confronting Smaug. When they showed the dragon I started to kind of wonder if it was real, but the dragon looks so fake, there is no way it could be special effects from this day in age.

What i'm wondering is what movie or TV show are the dragon scenes from?
I'd share it, but I don't know how to upload movies for download.

EDIT: alright here's the link http://www.lathamfilms.com/widescreen_hobbit_trailer_latham.mpg

as I said I know it's fake, no need to point that out. I just want to know where he got the scenes where it features "Smaug"

I was under the impression movie trailers have to have the branding thing at the end, like the rating etc... if they don't have they they aren't released by the producer. I wonder if that guy can get in trouble for using those scenes from other movies, or does that count as fanfic? I wonder.. he's using the director's name as well as the other actors'.. hmm

-Nah-

They used the Requiem for a Dream score for the real Two Towers trailer. I'm sure that's where he got the idea for the song from.
