Jackson Hosts Online Peek For Hobbit 2's "Smaug"

Peter Jackson will present a first look at "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," the second film in the trilogy, on March 24th.

Taking place at thehobbit.com/sneak at 3pm US-EST, Jackson will screen film footage, a behind-the-scenes set video, and will answer  fan submitted questions. You can submit a video question at the site but it has to be submitted before March 19th.

One catch - viewing the early sneak peek requires an access code that can only be scored when you buy a copy of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" on DVD or Blu-ray. The discs hit shelves this Tuesday.

"The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" hits theaters on December 13, 2013
