From the interview: &#8220;\u201cIt\u2019s very freeing, once you put the suit on and the sensors. I\u2019ve never felt less encumbered, actually. And you have to be. You have to be free.\u201d Just how does one move like a dragon? There certainly aren&#8217;t many real life examples one can observe. (Here&#8217;s putting in an early vote for a Benedict\/Smaug mocap extra on the DVD set). Benedict also revealed to Total Film that: \u201cI think my eye will open at the end of the first film, and then you\u2019ll get the rest of me in the second.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totalfilm.com\/news\/benedict-cumberbatch-talks-playing-smaug-the-dragon-in-the-hobbit\"><strong>Read more&#8230;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our friends at Total Film have interviewed Benedict Cumberbatch regarding doing motion capture for his role as Smaug&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1506,1300,4,148],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-benedict-cumberbatch","category-hobbit-cast-news","category-hobbit-movie","category-hobbit"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-geX","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62431"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62431\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62463,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62431\/revisions\/62463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
