it is a shame we wont get to see this ver of the hobbit - i think everyone can agree the hobbit we got was not the one the fans deserved - and it really isnt the fault of Guillermo Del Toro - or Peter Jackson - its important not to blame the visionaries
What a shame! SHAME on the studios for not green lighting and forcing Guillermo to make a difficult decision to leave, because it is affecting his future projects. This would've been a better film product! And screw those Studios for not giving Peter and team time to delay for more pre-production. Greedy bastards!
@@hanzfranz7739 Sure, he's been doing fine. His films are still high quality before and after The Hobbit. I should've said that if Guillermo stayed any longer, his future projects would've been affected. He had to leave, unfortunately. What a shame...I heard Guillermo's 2-part film is genius. The first one is told in the perspective of Bilbo from the beginning up until the Lonely Mountain. The 2nd part is told in the same way but in the perspective of Gandalf. VERY INTERESTING!
christopher lee, im sure he could deliver a sound performance in which wont recognize him (like john rhys-davies as treebeard, didnt had an idea that that was him until i was told that)
looking forward to Smaug...i don't think they had such an exciting concept to design even in LOTR...as far as the voice goes Liam Neeson seems a good suggestion but i'd imagine it'll go to an unknown voice artist i know there were a few rumblings about James McAvoy as Bilbo. i saw him in LKoS and Atonement he was superb and at 5'7 is the right height. id also love to see Paddy Considine as Bard but it could be anyone from Christian Bale to Richard Armitage
I think they should go with someone relatively unknown or someone who can twist their voice enough so you dont recognize them. Liam Neeson NO. He was the lion in the Narnia movies and I recognized him immediately and that kind messed up the believability of the lion.
As long as Smaug isn't Sean Connery or Liam Neeson or other famous/obvious choice, I'll be happy. A John Malkovich or Willem Dafoe type would be perfect, they've got the intelligence, cunning and menace down pat, although their voices would have to be changed. My initial want was Ron Perlman since Del Toro most likely will have him in the film somewhere, but he would be a better Beorn or Goblin-King.

i guess the first movie will end after the eagles save them from the wargs or maybe later when gandalf leaves them just before they enter mirkwood =)
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Arnold Schwarzenegger
'' I em se mity Dregon, feer mi appirance an mi firy breth!!!''
As Bard, here are some recommendations.
1. Clive Owen.
2 Gerard Butler.
3. Eric Bana.
Actually... Clancy "The Kurgan" Brown would be perfect for Smaug! He's got the voice and the qualities, plus he has experience in voice acting.
Jeremy Irons.

I think Toro is doing pretty fine.

@@DanielMazahreh I would love to see Guillermos version of it... maybe one day :)

He also does the voice of Mister Krabs. I lie that idea. He's perfect for the role.
Tim Curry! can't beat that voice and laugh!

Nice job on the interview.
That Smaug concept art was frikken scary!
what a shame he couldn't direct it!
but still hopeful for the movies
The own reporter could be the SMAUG VOICE!

John Rhys Davis as the voice of Smaug
4:12 that comment aged poorly.
I suggest Mathias Nygård from Turisas or Johan Hegg from Amon Amarth to do the voice of Smaug.
smaugs voice must be the voice of Christopher Lee.
So it will end with smaug's death and the second film will be the rest of the book?
actually this is a good interview I am very curious about the dragon
"read between the lines" i'm guessing the point he is talking about is when Gandalf leaves the company
Alan Howard? Voice of the one ring.
Lol 1:06
is del toro still doing it
Pay atemption to the end, when he talks alone.
Jeff Bridges possibly
i say that ken wantenabe would make a good smaug
this is the saddest video ever in hindsight
Tim Curry was a good call. I can't stand the movie Legend, but Tim Curry played a bad ass Demon (even though he couldn't kill tom cruise)
Damn
What could and should have been.
Tom Waits as the voice of Smaug...you know it to be true! ;¬)
Liam Neeson would be good. I really cant think of anyone else !
Brian blessed should play thorin tho!
george lopez or cheech mareen for smaug!!!!!!!!!!! ayayayayayayayaye
