Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

And the Necromancer.
This one! I knew he was the voice of Smaug, but Smaug doesn't really say anything in this movie.

Neither does the Necromancer! Either he's being credited for the trilogy, or he did 3 seconds of mocap for that shadow in the doorway.

This has been in debate on Tumblr recently, actually. Err, if the shadow is mocap Cumberbatch, that is.
The Necromancer does make some sort of vocalization thing. I could pull the disc out of my pocket and check (don't ask) to make sure I'm not misremembering, but I'm lazy.

Or Jackson likes instigating games of "Who is that under all that makeup? I saw his name in the credits, he has to be there somewhere."

For reasons that make perfect sense to me, there are those who claim his outline is recognizable as a CGIed shadow figure.
Which... yeah, okay. It did kind of look like him.
(Due to Frankenstein, large portions of the fandom are quite familiar with the outline.)

After the first time I saw it, I had a very strong memory of the shadow being distinctly Cumberbatch shaped, but subsequent viewings have proven me wrong.
(Not saying it's definitely not him either, but it's a pretty generic blurry human coming out of the smoke.)

Yeah, it seemed more distinct on first view, but the mind's a suggestible thing and all.
