Last night Berlin was the host city for the European Premiere of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, and the Germans really showed the world how such an event should be done.  From the incredible Smaug décor on the red carpet, to the excellent hosts for the livestream, to the care and attention shown to the fans lining the enormous carpet, the event was fun and exciting.  Many of the cast were in attendance, and all looked to be having a great time.

If you missed it, you can watch the highlights now, in this official video from Warner Bros:

Luke as GirionWhile watching the live stream of the Berlin premiere, which is still running right now at Berlin Premiere Live Stream Luke Evans confirmed that he played Bard’s own ancestor, Girion of Dale. He only had to spend one day in costume, but as you can see from this image, that costume was very elaborate and heavy, similar to what the dwarves had to wear all the time. Luke said he was glad he only had to put on this heavy costume just the one day, but really loved playing his ancestor to bring that history to life.

IMG_6909One of the most beautiful pieces at Comic-Con 2013 came to us from our friends at Weta Workshop. This statue is a real eye catcher with a great likeness, amazing detail, and a fantastic mix of grace/power. The character that Weta created that mixes all of these together is the King of the Mirkwood Elves Thranduil. This was also a special release granted by Warner Brothers so fans could see the character and start getting pumped for the awesomeness that is to come in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
