THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG, Production Diary 11

Dorthonion · **Posted:** Mon Jul 01, 2013 6:09 pm

The Mirkwood Elves are using a different type of sword to those wielded by the High Elves and Galadhrim. Lots and lots of other interesting little snippets going on in the background. I saw orlando Bloom doing a spoof along with the 'Taking the Hobbits to Isengard' stuff somewhere a few days ago but cannot remember where exactly...

That video dorth is possibly one of the greatest things on the internet :lol:

about time we got a 'live' version. I want a full cast version as a bonus on the super mega triple triple extended Lotr/ Hobbit Blu Ray 3D box set.

On topic: Just watched the production vid, it looks sweeeeeeeet.

I saw in Thomarillion News they have beat us to it :rofl:

I want to do Dale. I have been casting terracotta roof tiles.
I experimented last summer with Mirkwood.
There are lots of little details to work with in the blog.

that was a awesum vid, do u think theyre will be a new gym trend, dwarvercise..lol hilarious..but am loving those elves and the Dale ruins look so awesum...can totally sum sort of elven ambush on orcs or vice versa...good thing we just got 5 months to wait, we reached the halfway point..lol
also i noticed PJ saying that the battle of the 5 armies is in movie 3..so maybe we get the necromancer in part 2..and Thranduil in armor looks awesum

I hope we get to see Thranduil get pwned like a scrub at one point.

Its on my list of scenery to make, right underneath Osgiliath, which i have been meaning to make since the Two Towers came out! so maybe 2015 !!!!

Its does look brilliant, i know Thormarillion had a some scenery and his models are brilliant, problem is the postage charges. Lets hope GW might make some as the detail is incredible.

I hope this too, a Dale or LAke-town scenery set, just like the ROME and Osgiliath set

IIRC, when Thorin's company build a barricade across the great door of Erebor, they fire an arrow at the elf herald sent to demand a share of Erebor's treasure.

I hope PJ changes it so its Thranduil himself who approaches the gate. I'd love to see the look on his face when a dwarf dares shoot an arrow at the King of the Wood Elves. :lol:

That would literally be just about the best thing to happen to cinema.
