BBFC rates a “new” Desolation of Smaug trailer

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has just recently rated another trailer for The Desolation of Smaug. This one comes in at 1 minute and 31 seconds, and like the first trailer that debuted back in June is rated 12A.

But we wonder whether, at 30 seconds shorter than the last one, this will merely be a cut-down version for different markets — a bit like we saw with the rendition of the AUJ trailer that was attached to Pixar’s Brave last year. In fact, Ringer TheHutt on the messageboards suggests that it might be this version below, which seems to been floating around a while, and contains no new scenes.
