Filming Hobbit ‘like a war’ says Connolly

June 20, 2012 at 6:58 pm by Demosthenes  - 

Billy Connolly is a quote machine, and a publicist’s dream. Seriously. Now, speaking to the NZ Herald, he’s dropped a few more wonderful lines about his experience playing Dain Ironfoot. No real spoilers in this article, unless you’ve not read the Hobbit, but perhaps some more indication of what we can expect from the Battle of the Five Armies.

“What an experience,” he says of filming The Hobbit. “It’s a huge undertaking. It’s like a war.”

He says as a dwarf, he’s doing a lot of fighting.
