Smaug!

I noticed that no one is talking about Smaug. He was my character in the JRT's books. I hope there will a cool prequel version of The Hobbit after The Return of the King.

who?

Smaug is the big red dragon in the Hobbit.

ow! the hobbit! Ok! I only saw LotR...

Yes, I too hope The Hobbit will b made into a film. I'd like to see more of Gollum in his cave.

that would be cool to see how bilbo tricked
gollum 🙂

Lovely. I'll tell Peter to get on with it.

Smaug was only in three scenes in the Hobbit.

1. When Bilbo first saw him sleeping.

2. When Bilbo returned and Smaug tried tricking Bilbo into reavealing himself.

3. When Smaug goes on a rampage, the the village over the lake (I forget the name) and gets killed because of his recklessness (and a special arrow shot by Bard).

But who would do his voice in a film version, hmm?

sean connery?

David Prowse... 🙂

They had reminders of Bilbo's journeys of the Hobbit in the FOTR film. The firework that looked like a dragon was a reminder of Smaug, and Bilbo was telling his story to the kids, although it was about the 3 trolls by that point.

I want to see the Battle of the Five Armies. Very cool battle, even though Bilbo gets knocked out by a stone during the climax! 🙁

If ever Smaug gets to be on the big screen, he's gonna be the baddest dragon ever to grace the cinema.

There were only three scenes that hinted at Smaug in TFOTR:

When Gandalf looked at Bilbo's map and saw a drawing of a dragon over Erebor, The Lonely Mountain. That was where Smaug lived.

When Gandalf said "If you're referring to the incident with the dragon . . . I merely gave you a push . . . "

The Dragon firework at Bilbo's 111th birthday party.

I was so excited at each of these scenes that I yelled (out loud in the theater) "SMAUG!"
😂

Gandalf, giving Bilbo a "push?" Yeah, right. 😄

well...not push. In fact he says:
" i only gave your uncle Bilbo's a liitle nudge out of the door ( or somethin' like that)
Anyway....i started to read the hobbit 2 days ago and it seems nice. ( as all JRRT's operas ) Smaug is my kind of a crook.

Smaug knows how to play his cards..... 😈

I am starting an on-line petition to get Spielberg, Jackson, or Lucas to make "The Hobbit" into a live-action film....

🙂

Smaug wasn't really important in the overall story of the Middle Earth series. He was a real annoying pest . . . kinda like Jabba was in Star Wars. Once he was killed . . . no one cared about talking about him anymore except on rare occassions. 😄

Villains aren't so important once they're dead. 😂

Ive signed the pertition(nuber 96 I think) not sure they can make the hobbit into a film as it is aimed at a youger age group? 😉

The novel seem to indicate the battle against Smaug was longer. Also the fight scenes could be more 'action' oriented . . . especially when the multiple armies fight over (the late) Smaug's treasure . . .
