Benedict Cumberbatch's role in the Hobbit Can't Post

oh my. this question has been killing me since Martin Freeman spilled the news.

who will benedict play?

I first thought Smaug, but then, as I was watching the animated version of the Hobbit, and it came to the part about Smaug's death, I sat up and shouted "Bard the Bowman! he'd be perfect for that role!"

but no news from PJ.
all of this secrecy is driving me insane.

I.must.. know. now.

but, none of us knows...
yet.

but, in all of this debate, who do you think our beloved Sherlock will play?

I have seen a bit of the Sherlock Holmes version on telly [In reply to] Can't Post

----Benedict's role in Sherlock looks more attuned to the character of Smaug, he has a commanding presence and makes Martin Freeman look small in comparison. Cool

But yeah, I really hope Benedict is Smaug :D
I absolutely love his voice! ^^
I got a soundclip from youtube and tried to mix around with it, to make it sound more dragon/demon-ish and it sounded AMAZING :D
I just think how much better professionals do it :)

I agree. [In reply to] Can't Post

I've seen the new Sherlock Holmes and am now watching Benedict in To The Ends of the Earth and I vote for him to be Smaug. He's not even close to what I'd pictured for Bard.

Elementary. [In reply to] Can't Post

He is the Sherlock Holmes to Martin Freeman's Watson. Freeman slipped that he is involved in The Hobbit.

"There is a long road yet," said Gandalf. "But it is the last road," said Bilbo.

Benedict Cumberbatch's role in the Hobbit [In reply to] Can't Post

Well, We know now what Benedict is going to play. I was surprised that the movie makers released the actual roles so fast, I was expecting to wait until next spring to be informed.
wow.

They didn't reveal the roles [In reply to] Can't Post

The information was leaked and still hasn't been officially confirmed. There's a very slim chance that it's not even true.
