Total Film: The Modern Guide to The Movies First look at Elijah Wood in The Hobbit

A batch of new images from The Hobbit have cropped up online, including our first official look at Elijah Wood in costume as Frodo Baggins.

The redoubtable little Hobbit looks more or less exactly the same as he did in the LOTR series, even fresher faced if that’s possible. Lucky old Elijah, eh?

Elsewhere there are some new character images of Bilbo and Gandalf, but nothing too revelatory. Both of them look duly serious, as the nature of their quest demands.

Directed by Peter Jackson and co-starring Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis and a whole host more, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens in the UK on 14 December 2012.

Total Film: The Modern Guide to The Movies Anthony Hopkins stars in Hitchcock trailer: watch now

Hitchcock, the biopic of Sir Alfred that hones in on the period he made classic slasher Psycho, has been teasing with images and posters for some time now, and at last a trailer has arrived.

Anthony Hopkins look to be gunning for awards as the portly auteur, undergoing extensive make-up and fat-suit embellishments to nail the resemblance. Hidden under that chin, the man who was once Hannibal Lecter is unrecognisable.

The trailer hints that the behind-the-scenes antics were as tense as what ended up on screen, with Hitch struggling to secure funding, and clashing with his wife and business partner, Alma Reville (Helen Mirren).

Scarlett Johansson makes an impression as Janet Leigh, rocking the period garb with impeccable style. And, of course, there's plenty of references to Hitchcock's darkly humorous streak.

Watch the Hitchcock trailer below now:

We don't get to size up Jessica Biel's portrayal of Vera Miles in this first trailer, but the potent mix of cinephilia, '60s style and a smattering of scene-stealing performances has us hooked.

And that shot of the Master of Suspense presiding over the swinging lightbulb scene from Psycho's climax had us rubbing our hands with glee.

Directed by Anvil: The Story Of Anvil's Sacha Gervasi, Hitchcock opens in the UK on 8 February 2013.

Total Film: The Modern Guide to The Movies Silent Hill: Revelation 3D releases three new images

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D has revealed three new images ahead of its Halloween release.

The second in the based-on-a-videogame series sees Adelaide Clemens’ Heather sucked into a horrific alt-world in an attempt to save her father (returnee Sean Bean).

Joining Clemens in the cast are Bean’s Game Of Thrones co-star Kit Harington, and The Matrix’s Carrie-Anne Moss.

The first movie’s Radha Mitchell is also back in some form, though thinking about it too much is giving us a bit of a hurty head.

Clemens, Harington and Moss’ creepily pale Claudia Wolf front the new stills:

And here’s an official blurb, for anyone who wants to get their head’s around the sequel’s plot:

“For years, Heather Mason (Clemens) and her father (Bean) have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn’t fully understand. Now on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by terrifying nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she's not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in Silent Hill forever.”

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D opens in the UK on 31 October 2012.
