The more footage that I see from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, the more I believe that Peter Jackson is on the right track from the missteps he had in The Hobbit. It looks far less kiddie, and the return of Legolas (Orlando Bloom) is going to be a welcome addition to the casting. Below, we have another banner from the film, as well as a behind-the-scenes featurette that gives us a closer look at Beorn the Were-Bear.
Thanks to Denny’s for the video.
