New images from The Hobbit, American Hustle and The Monuments Men

Entertainment Weekly has debuted a trio of new images online, with new shots from American Hustle and The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug , alongside a first look at George Clooney’s The Monuments Men .

The latest American Hustle still puts the focus squarely on Amy Adams, seen here sporting a leather jacket and little else. Even Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper’s wacky makeovers can’t keep up…

Meanwhile, there’s a look at Tauriel and Legolas in a typically picturesque scene from The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug , gazing meaningfully at each other as their hair billows in the wind.

Perhaps most interesting is the first shot from George Clooney’s The Monuments Men , showing off an ensemble cast that includes Matt Damon, John Goodman, Bob Balaban and Clooney himself.

The film follows a crew of art historians and collectors who band together to recover a cache of artworks stolen by the Nazis before Hitler can have them destroyed.

The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug will open in the UK on 13 December 2013. The Monuments Men is scheduled to open in the US on 18 December 2013 (9 January 2014 in the UK), while American Hustle will follow on 25 December 2013 (the day after in the UK).
