After reporting today that Luke Evans will play Bard in the Peter Jackson-directed The Hobbit and wondering who'll voice the dragon Smaug, we can now tell you that it will be Benedict Cumberbatch. He'll portray Smaug via motion capture. He is already on the picture, providing the voice of the character Necromancer.
電影《指環(huán)王前傳：霍比特人》已經(jīng)敲定由英國演員盧克·伊萬斯飾演Bard的角色，而為巨龍史矛革（Smaug）配音的不是別人，就是英劇《神探夏洛克》中的福爾摩斯扮演者Benedict Cumberbatch，此前扮演華生醫(yī)生的Martin Freeman曾透露說Benedict將隨他加入霍比特人劇組（戳此看前情回顧：“福爾摩斯”與華生“兩不相離” 同加入《霍比特人》劇組>>）現(xiàn)在Benedict已經(jīng)在劇組了，為亡靈法師配音。

This comes as Cumberbatch is getting buzz for his supporting performances in the Steven Spielberg-directed War Horse. And Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, in which he stars opposite Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy and Colin Firth. After drawing raves for his performance in Danny Boyle's stage production of Frankenstein, Cumberbatch was just set to star in the five-part miniseries Parade’s End. Cumberbatch continues his role as Sherlock Holmes on the BBC/PBS series.
最近Benedict在斯皮爾伯格的電影《戰(zhàn)馬》中飾演的角色正備受關(guān)注，電影Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy中他也與Gary Oldman、Tom Hardy以及Colin Firth有對手戲；舞臺劇《弗蘭肯斯坦》中Benedict的表演更是大受好評，隨后他就接拍了迷你劇《行進的目的》，同時也在繼續(xù)《神探夏洛克》第二季的拍攝工作。
