Remember the smoothness in his voice as the head terrorist in Die Hard and the sliminess of Snape? Smaug must be clever and evil, I like Rickman. Alan Rickman is an excellent choice for Smaug.

I think Mckellen was perfect for Gandalf. Connery just wouldn't have worked. Too big of an ego. Even though I do love Connery. Someone mentioned Alan Rickman for Smaug, that would be fitting, I think. Got to say. I think Mckellen was perfect for Gandalf. Connery just wouldn’t have worked. Too big of an ego.

Otherwise I assume they'd just cast someone new as Saruman. @zac, They might have Lee do some scenes in London (or elsewhere in England). Otherwise I assume they’d just cast someone new as Saruman.

By the way, I think Smaug going to look fantastic, it amazed me that many people are worried about Del Toro and Jackson, its a bloody match made in heaven. Del Toro is a master at monster, and Jackson made LOTR, do not worry freinds and fans, the Hobbit will go well, but who will voice Smaug, that's another topic, but I think it should be Christopher Lee.

The artistic style i think will change but probably not to far. after all alan lee and john howe are involved again but you cant deny GDT has a visual style. I think they will all marry well. We'll see. i'm most worried about what the 2nd movie will be. is it then conclusion to the hobbit or is it a tie in to the the first three? I think there is enough material in the hobbit for two movies especially with a verry little ad-libing with the white council and Dol Guldur. Other then that slight deviation i hope they dont go beyond what was in the book. i think he will do a fine job with the hobbit movies.

I saw the job they did with LotR, and even though The Hobbit is my favorite book, I have a hard time believing they will ruin anything.. I think this guy will do a great job, though I WOULD have liked Peter Jackson to do it - but lurking behind the scenes, we probably got it safe. My faith in this guy grows steadier the more I read.
