The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

[Adolfo]

I've learned my lesson. Always wear protective eyewear when seeing a movie with Jye

That's freakin funny

First poster from The Desolation of Smaug? or does anyone else like me think its photoshopped? Looks like the same image from the comic-con posters.

 

[Adolfo]

Does that mean that Weta will come out with the blue jacket with tie Bilbo version statue? I love the fact that Bilbo looks like a scared nervous wreck

 

[The Josh]

We may see another Bilbo statue before the end but I doubt it will be too soon. He does but I think all they did is just change the jacket color in photoshop.

If it's not shopped, it looks horrible.

Nah. It shows the Hell Bilbo has to go thru, Spiders,Dragons,and riding barrels down river not to mention going hungry in the Forest as well as hiding from elves

I wouldn't say terrible. I'd be curious if real why they just changed the color of the jacket.

Maybe Lake town gave em to him?

 

[The Josh]

Possible. There is a picture of him wearing a blue jacket but its not like that one.

that poster is horrible.

I think it looks like it was thrown together. I wouldn't be surprised if it were shopped. I can't find it online anywhere else.

Worst poster ever I truly hope that it's fake.

I think she looks really cool. Whilst I'm happy to have a female character added to the mix, I'm not exactly thrilled that she is being cast as love interest for Legolas. Can't she just be an awesome character without being a love interest?

The photo is rather unfortunate (i don't know if its the lighting that makes it look just a bit cheap), but the costume design is fantastic. It may look simple at first glance, but on closer inpsection in high-res, its very, very "elven" in a good way. I always loved the fluid lines Weta brought to all Elf concept art, and this is a good example of it. The leaf-like lines of the chest piece, the interesting shapes and curves of the bow, the fluid quiver, the petal-like vambraces. I cannot wait to see some high-end sculpts made of this character.

3 more days and we will see this trailer...It's sad really that I wanna go see a trailer more than MoS or other films...LOL

 

[The Josh]

We've confirmed at TORn that the poster is a fake and is simply just a redo someone did of the comic-con poster. Also, if anyone didn't know the trailer will be posted online on the 12.

Actually, it's just speculation at this point. There was some talk of her having a romance (of some sort) with Kili.

For some reason I think that directors, or whoever, think that women can't watch a movie without some kind of romance in it, which isn't true at all.

Damn Twilight.

Whatever happens with Tauriel it will be like Gimli with Galadriel.

Now this is what I'm talking about

Yeah that was just posted to Jackson's FB page. That looks really great!
