THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG - "Beorn's House" Featurette
Warner Bros. has released a very cool new featurette for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug that focuses on Beorn's House. We haven't seen a lot of this character in the marketing of the film, so this featurette gives us a little idea of how the character will be portrayed in the movie. There's no footage of the character himself, but the cast and crew talk about him, and you get to see them playing around on the giant house set.
The shape-shifting character is being played by Mikael Persbrandt, and this is the description of the character from Tolkien:
"Beorn was of immense size and strength for a man, and retained his size and strength in bear-form. He had black hair (in either form) and a thick black beard and broad shoulders (in human form). While not a "giant" outright, Beorn's human form was of such great size."
