Comic con-hobbit panel

i thought we could use this thread for gifs/videos/pictures and etc. from the panel at comic con  i'll go first

not hobbit related bit Daniel Radcliffe in a spiderman costume at comic con

http://instagram.com/p/q7k4tXvMQT/ <- benedict and andy serkis interview(-ish), doing gollum impersonations..

not the hobbit again, but comic-con at least, and it is BCUmbs (shock!) but he does a Gollum voice and a Jar Jar Binks voice at the end

Does Cumberbatch say that John Malkovich had been considered ("cast") for Smaug at one point?
Right at the beginning of the video he says, "And just... hearing a few other people who were cast... like John.. [quietly] Malkovich, which is really exciting."

I can't imagine anyone I would hate having in the Hobbit more than John Malkovich. My goodness I dislike that "actor."

Still, fun stuff, having Comic-con finally upon us!
"Cumberburning!"   

Edit: OK never-mind, they were talking about this new Madagascar film.

Further Edit: All is forgotten about any Malkovich mentions: delightful interview Norc! They even got away from the "OK now I'm doing the serious actor-interview voice so respect my name-dropping" and had some great friendly banter.

Uh....OK. Où est le trailer?

John Malkovich is great in Being John Malkovich.

ah great you beat me to it

Yay panel time!
I've been watching 2013 panels while I waited

i watched it all earlier, i liek!

Why is Elijah there?   

For the fun of it I guess!
If that's your main query it doesn't sound as though much crabbit was induced Petty?

For myself, I always get annoyed when Colbert mentions some bit of Tolkien lore that was shifted in the movie: it feels as though he is pretending nothing was wrong.
I mean, not to be pedantic, but we did not see the Battle of Dagorlad in the prologue of FotR. What we saw was the major events of the Battle of Dagorlad and the siege of Barad-dur all transplanted onto the slopes of Mt. Doom. It was a condensing of events that did not really make any sense if you think about it.
It was presented as the deciding and, for all we know, only major battle of that war. The numbers of combatants involved is huge. Why on earth, then, would Sauron have set the battle on Mt. Doom rather than outside of the Morannon? It is as though he simply opened the Black Gates and allowed the armies of the Last Alliance to march right on into Mordor, only challenging them to battle once they had reached the (in strategic military terms) nearly useless mountain.
These things are alright if simply left alone, but under much scrutiny the cuts and changes made for the sake of the movies can rankle.

I haven't watched any of it yet- that crabbit was just for his very presence.
I ain't anywhere near drunk enough yet to actually watch the damn thing   

I was at Comic Con for a day. I didn't go to any of the panels though. I was just on the ground floor with all the booths. They had a big Smaug statue thing whose eyes lit up occasionally. I mostly was at other booths though. I saw the entire cast of game of thrones at the hotel except Khaleesi. I bought a real sword from the the floor, a reverse blade katana from Rurouni Kenshin. It was really fun.

There were a lot of Cosplayers too. One guy was a Combine security guard. He had the radio that made the exact same noise from the game   

I've never been. San Diego is a bit of a drive south for me.
Maybe one day!

According to the official facebook page the trailer will be released at noon tomorrow- just not sure whose noon!

He'll almost certainly be in the framing scenes with Ian Holm in BOFA. Wasn't it already confirmed that Holm was returning?

It says noon Pacific / 3 PM Eastern, which means it'll premiere at 8 PM GMT. I probably won't be able to be online for it, so someone else will have to make a thread for it tomorrow.

I just realized that this thread is apparently about a panel consisting of a humorous hobbit thief.
