Behold: Benedict Cumberbatch Doing Glorious Mocap for Smaug

My Precious!

These screenshots, taken by Tolkienerd on Flickr, are apparently from the extended edition Hobbit special features, now available from iTunes. There are a few more heroically published on Flickr, including wide shots of Cumberbatch using his whole body, and while they are hilarious, I can’t help but wonder how exactly they’re going to translate to a beast with very few human-like features. Part of me wonders whether these are screenshots from a slightly satirical special feature, as in a certain Beard Realism Department video I can remember.

She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
