Benedict Cumberbatch on Smaug's Motion-Capture in The Hobbit

Quote:

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will hit the big screen on December 14th of this year, but the main focus of Smaug will be the second chapter, appropriately subtitled The Desolation of Smaug. For that one, fans will have to wait a full year until December 13, 2013.

“I think my eye will open at the end of the first film," says the actor, "and then you’ll get the rest of me in the second.”

The final film, The Hobbit: There and Back Again will follow on July 18, 2014.

That's Legolas (the one with the bow) and a new character called Tauriel (played by Lost's Evangeline Lilly) making their move on the evil spiders while dwarves are trapped in webs in the background. In the novel, the escape from the spiders is actually more thanks to Bilbo than anything the elves do, but this looks like things have been shifted into Legolas' hands. Unless this is just LEGO having a little fun with the plot.

LEGO set leaks how Peter Jackson will add Legolas to The Hobbit

The real reason Guillermo del Toro quit the Hobbit:

Quote:

"Do I think Peter wanted to take over The Hobbit? No. But he was going to be involved one way or the other, and as an artist, Guillermo wanted to make his version of the movie. I think he wondered: 'How much of an imprint can I put on this? ... Do I want to spend years of my life being caretaker of someone else's franchise?'"

That makes a lot of sense. I don't blame him one bit.

Why did Ian McKellen almost not return as Gandalf for The Hobbit?

Quote:

He'd been there, done that, and was looking for something new:

Quote:

"It was a little like going back to something that wasn't necessarily going to be particularly challenging. Gandalf is still inside me, as it were, so the business of getting to know a new character--I was sort of going to be robbed of that."

But with his mind all but made up, he made a decision at the eleventh hour to come back, out of respect for all the fans who've loved the series:

Quote:

"You felt, how many millions of people are waiting for it? They wouldn't understand if you weren't as keen as they were ... Peter Jackson and I much prefer Gandalf the Grey, who was a man who did manage to enjoy himself."

I'm glad he came back. This isn't like Katie Holmes leaving the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy. McKellen has done nothing wrong.

Yeah, same here.

Beginning Nov. 6, the restaurant chain known as "America's Diner" will launch an 11-item breakfast, lunch and dinner menu tied in to The Hobbit's Dec. 14 release. Dishes include "Bilbo's Berry Smoothie," "Radagast's Red Velvet Pancake Puppies" and "Lonely Mountain Treasure" (which looks like a kind of French toast cake with dipping sauce), "Frodo's Pot Roast Skillet," "Gandalf's Gobble Melt" (which we're guessing includes turkey) and "Hobbit Hole Breakfast" (because doesn't that sound appetizing?).

Really?

The Desolation of Smaug

Quote:

Jackson also revealed two other bits of chronological arrangement in the interview. First, he noted that the spiders of Mirkwood will not make an appearance until the second film, and that they'll speak with a kind of "psychic communication" that only Bilbo hears.

The interview also revealed that film two will take us to the dark stronghold of Dol Guldur, the hideout taken by the evil Sauron in the years when he lived in a weakened state and was known only as "The Necromancer." According to co-star Sylvester McCoy, those scenes include moments "where the wizards are together, battling not each other but some other evil."
