Official 'The Hobbit' Thread - Part 15

I know what you mean. The fact that he looks like plasticine seems to underscore his role as a manufactured antagonist expanded to pad out the movie.

I personally love Azog and his design. He's a much better character than Bolg, who experienced some dodgy CGI moments in Desolation unfortunately.

I love Azog's design and think, despite being a rush job, he looks beautiful.

Do they really have to ruin the DVD box art with those god awful Bluray banners?

 

[Supernova]

MY thing about Alzog is I would like the character better if it were a real actor in a suit with makeup then some CGI one. The design is good but he looks too clean cut as a villian orc. Not too mention now most of the orcs in all the shots are cgi to boot.

Sometimes the banners slide off. They did for the LOTR extended trilogy. These look like they could slide off too.

I'm pretty sure these slide/come off - at least, I'm pretty sure the ones on the AUJ extended edition did (I can check when I get home from work)

The banners are just part of the packaging for easy identification of the bluray version in the stores; they come off when you remove the plastic wrap.

Yep. The bluray banner is a paper that comes off.

I bought the Unexpected Journey EE Blu-ray and the blue banner is a piece of paper that came off in the unpacking.

Well that isn't annoying at all (I hate shopping at Wal-Mart)

 

[terry78]

Hence why they did it. They know Wal-Mart detractors will be forced to get it there.

Last trailer should be soon. I wonder what with.

Last trailer should be soon. I wonder what with.

Probablly in November with Mockingjay Part 1 or Interstellar. We might get lucky and get a trailer in October and then get a 3 minute sneakpeak in November like they did with DOS.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

How many films have their final trailer come out only a month before release? It has to be October no? They can just attach it to other films as well.

In the case of DOS, the tease around June. The trailer was September or October. And that sneak peak 3 minute trailer came out right before release in November. Trailer 2 and 3 played with Catching Fire, but that wasnt the film either trailer premiered with...I dont think. My memory is hazy.

October releases it might show up in:
Gone Girl 10/3
Dracula Untold 10/10
The Judge 10/10
Fury 10/17
Horns 10/31
Nightcrawler 10/31

My three guesses are Gone Girl, Dracula, or Fury.

 

[vinsanity]

I would say Dracula, Luke Evans is in it.

 

[John Locke]

Dracula seems the most likely. It's PG-13.

 

[Vartha]

THAT is awesome! Thanks Marv!!

 

[Marvolo]

You're welcome.
