Awesome ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’ Art Centering On Benedict Cumberbatch & Martin Freeman
Jan 29th
Irise has put together this fantastic “There And Back Again: A Detective’s Story” piece centering on Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman’s characters from ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘Sherlock.’ If you weren’t already aware, Cumberbatch is playing Smaug and The Necromancer in ‘The Hobbit’ film series. Smaug, one of the last remaining dragons in Middle-earth, guards the treasure in Erebor. Cumberbatch will portray Smaug and The Necromancer through motion capture, similar to Andy Serkis with Gollum. Smaug has a very brief appearance in ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,’ during the opening prologue and the ending, but only portions of him can be seen, not his full body. I’m looking forward to seeing him unleashed in ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’! Head on over to Irise’s for more excellent pieces to work to feast your eyes on.
