ComingSoon.com has been talking to the future Hobbit director, Guillermo del Toro. Del Toro talks a little bit more about Smaug, saying:
“Smaug is the creature in ‘The Hobbit.’ The way Tolkien wrote it, already, is magnificent. It’s already a fantastic character. So, obviously, you ask every person what their best favorite dragon is, they will give you a different answer. In my mind, what we’re going to attempt on the design of this creature and the creation of this creature needs to push the envelope beyond anything you’ve ever seen on that kind of creature.”

Del Toro adds, “…Smaug has certain characteristics that make him unique already. I am bursting at the seams about spilling the beans, but I won’t because I would be shot.”
