New images posted on TolkienNerd's flickr show Benedict Cumberbatch performing his motion capture for his role as Smaug the Dragon in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. While his casting has been known for over a year, this is the first time able to get an idea on how a human would play a dragon. The pics are probably from an upcoming production diary so will hopefully learn more about how it works soon. (via The One Ring)
