Red Digital Cinema, in order to promote the 3-D cameras being used by Peter Jackson to film The Hobbit, has released a teaser poster. The poster can be seen here, on their website.
The hobbit in the picture kind of looks like Frodo. Or it’s Bilbo with a similar pose. Can’t see his face too well.

Nice poster, but I don’t get why the info-box’s cast names are mostly cameo characters

This has nothing to do with The Hobbit movie, they’ve just taken a picture of Frodo stuck him in a cave like entrance and added in a bunch of well known names and the title.
Orlando Bloom, Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Elijah Wood…all of those people have minor roles (are they all even confirmed?) I don’t believe this has anything to do with PJ and co. It’s just something fan made.

I forgot to add, that if you magnify the picture, you can clearly see Frodo’s dark curly hair and Lothlorien cloak. Now I suppose it could just be a regular green cloak Bilbo has but I think it’s more likely they took a picture of Frodo from LotR and used it.
The artist’s name is 3fkan, and the title is The Hobbit Poster efkan zehir. It was made and posted to DA back on January 4th. Those of you guessing it was a picture of Frodo are correct – the artist writes down in the comment section, that he used a picture of Frodo from the movie and made it blurrier.

The poster is simple yet it really captivates me. It seems promising I hope the movie is as good as the LotR trilogy.

Re cameo characters: I don’t think they’re mainly cameo characters…out of all of them, the only true cameo is Elijah. Cate and Christopher Lee are both probably going to be major players, because of the White Council scene. Judging by Procucton Video #2, Legolas has a major role: http://www-images.theonering.org/torwp/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screen-shot-2011-07-09-at-12.32.02-PM.png
Looking in the background, there’s four costume design sketches for him, though I guess that could be two – each costume + each costume with a cloak.
However, this is not a true poster, I’m sorry to say. It’s been stolen (presumably, since they haven’t credited the artist) from DeviantArt. It can be found here: http://3fkan.deviantart.com/art/The-Hobbit-Poster-efkan-zehir-192237510
