The first “teaser” trailer for Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey that just debuted this week has got everyone hyped up and anticipating a return to Middle Earth next December. Well, now fans have something to get them even more excited, because Peter Jackson’s latest production video has just debuted online!

In the video, Jackson goes into detail about the logistics of filming on location in New Zealand, which, by the way, is simply mind-blowing when you see just how much work goes into making it all happen. It also goes a bit into how they’ve reconstructed Hobbiton as a permanent tourist attraction, which is just too cool for words. As soon as it is available, the video will be posted here. But for now, you can head on over to Peter Jackson’s Facebook page to watch!

Update: The video is now available to watch after the jump!
