The Necromancer?

Edit: I just preordered the 6" Bilbo. I am really happy they are doing a 6" line for the film (I wish Dredd had done that.)
 
Beorn reveal?
That'd be too good to be true - especially now that Beorn is likely to be pushed back to Film Two.

If I had to venture a guess, I'd say it'll be a 3D cover of Bilbo and Gollum.

I agree.
 
With words like that, it better be Smaug. Anything else is a disappointment.
 
If we're not going to get a good look at Smaug in the first movie, I doubt they would release a picture of him so soon.

Then don't hype it up like that. He is the only thing in this series worthy of such hype.

Also if they show a trailer, like they should, after the film we will be seeing Smaug this December and not simply in the shadows.

They're showing Smaug fully after the film? Sounds cool, where did you hear that?

Also, there's more to the Hobbit besides Smaug. Like LOTR, I'm sure it'll have a lot of awesome moments and characters leading up to and after the desolation of Smaug.

I am not saying they will, I am saying they should. You either do the tracking shot to the mountain and show us him for a second at the very end. Especially if that is what the second film should be all about. Smaug.

Or you do a teaser trailer like the Matrix or the Fellowship re-release.

Yeah, just don't get your hopes up for a picture of Smaug on the cover. He'll most likely be fully revealed in the second movie so they wouldn't spoil it so soon. Seems like the same case that Gollum had when he was only teased in the first movie. The movie might prove me wrong, though. Who knows?

Yeah, I know neither is likely. My only point was that they shouldn't hype it up if it isn't that. He is the kind of transcendent thing that would make it the greatest of all covers. I can't imagine anything else comparing.

A shot of him on the gold, a close up of the side of his face, or even a shot inspired by the original Hobbit cover with him flying near the mountain from pretty far away.
 
These movies better live up to my unrealistic expectations, and my inane criticisms!!! :cmad:

Yes I'm making fun of all of you. :p

I am not talking about the movie, as much as the cover of Empire. They are setting themselves some incredible expectations.

The movies, I am just going to go with. That there will probably be two Hobbit films without Smaug already bothers me, but not more then the possibility of them cutting up Smaug between the second and third film. :csad:
