How he describes Smaug sounds very promising [In reply to] Can't Post

He's right in that it should be about the character first (I did worry how much of Smaug's actual talking character would make it to the films). Also, the idea of not going too outlandish with him. He DOES need to look like a dragon and not some alien creature!

He uses the word decrepit in describing Smaug [In reply to] Can't Post

and that is interesting. There could be some cunning ways to introduce old age into the dragon to add menace and originality. I don't think I've ever seen a dragon as "old" not even Vermithraax.

-Tim came by. Tim! If you had heard only a quarter of what I have heard about him, and I have only heard very little of all there is to hear, you would be prepared for any sort of remarkable tale.

Very interesting [In reply to] Can't Post

Smaug should be very old, being the last of the Great Dragons and all. And dragons are so vain it wouldn't surprise me if he was terrified of aging. I think it would be an interesting concept, and great for Cumberbatch to play with it.
