Fans have been eagerly awaiting a first look at the final movie in The Hobbit trilogy and if recent reports were to be trusted the first teaser is right around the corner. A new report dated July 11 confirms that the teaser is indeed ready and gives away a few details.

The first teaser for the movie is out of the editing room and has also been stamped with a rating by the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification). It has received a 12A rating by the board. The running time for the clip was also revealed, and it will clock in at 1 minute and 48 seconds.

The report also goes onto conjecture that the teaser should be out this month, in the next week or the week after.

This speculation falls in line with another recent development. Peter Jackson will be presenting the movie at Comic-Con 2014 on July 26.

Rest assured, the finished product is just waiting for its unveiling. Jackson recently stated that he was done editing the teaser.

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

"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.
