The Hobbit Trilogy

[OmegaZilla]

It can be just a throwaway reference, showing him for a short time (like Sauron's armoured form).

Besides that though, here's one thing that definitely bothers me: the inconsistency in Smaug's portrayal.

We've got the four-legs Smaug...



...the Bat Smaug...


...and final Smaug.



Boy, I hope they just make one damn coherent version for the extended trilogy next year.

As I said in my red hot dynamite review () I think Tim Curry would have been a good choice for Smaug's voice. Not saying Cabbagepatch wasn't any good, just a thought really when I heard the tone, reminded me of Darkness.

Bat Chain, we're brothers at heart.

We share some ancient ancestor that perhaps hunted saber tooth cats and cave bears ... both out of territorial dominance and utter respect for the beasts themselves.

When do we get the Smaug prequel trilogy?

I do think there'll be a flashback of sorts detailing something about Smaug.

Now it would be fantastic if they showed, like, the genealogy of Dragons with Ancalagon and Glaurung... sweet dreaming, unfortunately.

From the Lore ...

In Middle-earth, dragons were created by Morgoth the Enemy. The first to appear was Glaurung, an Uruloki or fire-drake, known as the "father of dragons." Emerging from Angband too young, he soon thereafter went back into hiding with Morgoth. When he next appeared at the Battle of Sudden Flame, however, he lead the charge into the battlefield, clearing the way for the Balrogs.

I have partially read the Silmarillion and that is what I was referring to. I would love to see them both as WETA designs, even if for just a few seconds. Though as said, it's just wishful thinking.

The inconsistency that lasts for all of a few seconds.

Someone WILL make a trilogy of films based on the Silmarillion. It's just inevitable. To much cash sitting there unguarded by fire drakes. I'm sure if it happens in the next 10 years PJ, Fran, and Phillipa will be executive producers and maybe even story writers. I don't really think PJ would direct. But I can see the Weta designs being used.

It would be nice to see someone else take a shot at Middle-Earth when PJ & Co are done with these films.

They'll probably make more than a trilogy, I'd bet.

Haha you just want dragons, dragons and more dragons. 

Nothing wrong with that

Are you by any chance watching Game of Thrones as well?

Smaug did remind me of the Lord of Darkness, too.  Cumberbatch, I think, was most likely used because he was popular and he did do an excellent job.  I don't think Tim Curry could've brought in as many people as Cumberbatch did.  But it did seem like they wanted Tim Curry's Lord of Darkness though.

I've only watched the first season, I need to get my hands on the other seasons as well.  But I'm thinking of downloading the books and reading them.

Like Del Toro.
