Peter Jackson’s new Middle Earth trilogy finally kicks off about a month from now with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on December 14th, and of course everything from trailers, to TV spots, to production photos are blasting their way online for all to see so that we can spoil ourselves silly before we even get to see the film.

However, a gallery of 150 behind-the-scenes images from the film made its way online today that fortunately doesn’t give much away in terms of how the finished film will look. There are a few pics included from the movie itself, but not much more than what has been revealed in the trailers, so you shouldn’t have too much to worry about in terms of seeing more from the film than you already have. Hit the jump for a fun look at what went on during production!

The Hobbit trilogy is directed by Peter Jackson, and written by Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and Peter Jackson.
