New Hobbit Photo: The Sting of Nerdom

I will probably break this promise not to post every single new photo of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey that hits the interwebs, but this new shot from the Los Angeles Times is just too good to pass up.  Martin Freeman's Bilbo finds himself dirty, and hopefully ready for action, as he grasps Sting, the sword that has previously been wielded on the big screen by Frodo (Elijah Wood) in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

My excitement for this movie knows no bounds.  December 14.
