Apparently they are doing motion capture of B. Cumberbatch to use as Smaug. Gollum I get, but what would be the point of mo capturing a dragon? -- nm - volnelk Oct 24, 08:44 6
- this feels like a sketch that Ben stiller would have done at the MTV awards some year. -- nm - Reagen Oct 24, 09:51

- It does seem kind of self-indulgent somehow. On the other hand, if it rocks, I could see some actors being really good at it and making it worthwhile. -- (link) - mara Oct 24, 09:19 1
  - Ha! Those photos look hilarious. -- nm - Roger More Oct 24, 09:52
