Cumberbatch had previously spoken about his conversation with director Peter Jackson about doing the motion-capture:
"I went, ‘I know what you’re going to say: I’m a biped mammal, I’m not a serpent with tiny claws or legs. I don’t have a tail, I can’t breathe fire or fly, and the rest of the things that aren’t dragonlike about me. But I do think in my imagination I’ve got something which might at least push the WETA animation into a direction.’"
"He went, "Come down and play."
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug will be in cinemas on December 11th. We cannot wait!
