I've been seeing all kinds of TV spots for the Bluray release of DoS and one thing they all have in common is that they are using Smaug as a marketing tool... Finally. And that made me think... I'm super excited for TaBA's marketing. They don't have to hide him any longer and we'll get some super awesome marketing campaigns revolved around him. And that's am exciting thought don't you think?

Considering Smaug will only be in the film 20 minutes at most (depending how long the attack lasts), I don't think they'll wanna show all the footage of him attacking Lake-town. I think they'll mainly be focusing on the BOFA in this marketing campaign. Unless, of course, the Smaug/Necromancer rumor is true, and he's in it for more than 20 minutes.

I will be delighted if they feature Smaug in the marketing – he is such a wonderful creation. He would certainly be much stronger as a marketing tool than the ninja elves of last year. I'd also like to see Thorin, Bilbo and Gandalf play prominent roles in the marketing, given how much they are generally liked as characters in The Hobbit films, and that their roles should be of key importance in the films.

Well, not even necessarily footage...

But we'll see behind the scenes in vlogs, Smaug posters, etc. It'll be really awesome to see, since we couldn't see any Smaug in the marketing for DoS.

unless of course he comes back in the BOT5A, i think it will be a combination of smaug and the BOT5A.

No, but he will likely be a big part of it.

I just want them to release a couple of cool Smaug-centric posters...an epic Smaug poster is something I've always craved.

I wish I could be excited but WB can be so sloppy

When WB wants to do good, like the gorgeous series of images from photographer Nils Israelson for AUJ. The haunting image of Thorin is one of the finest images of a movie character ever captured in a still image IMO (capturing Thorin's power and pain) and a permanent fixture for me on the wall. The rest of the dwarves and Gandalf all just gorgeous IMO and the true spirit of Middle Earth - and not cutesy. But when WB is just doing the "good enough" job - meh. Wrong clothes, odd Photoshopping, sloppy work. So Smaug or not, I am more leery than anything. Hope for the best *sigh*.

Seeing it all end is going to be exciting and sad in a way. I love these movies and how much I feel they do capture of Middle-earth. So I'm excited to take one last trip there on the big screen for a first time showing.

I've been saying how i can't believe people haven't JUMPED at the chance to market Smaug in every medium - I'm quite disappointed at the lack of his presence in terms of collectors items, merchandise, and things like that. I hope they bombard me with it for TABA
