The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey gave us only the briefest glimpse of Sauron – as The Necromancer – motion-captured by Smaug actor Benedict Cumberbatch. Hopefully Part II, The Desolation of Smaug, will show us more.

Sherlock Holmes is enjoying something of a Renaissance of late so it’s hardly surprising that Young Sherlock Holmes ~ Victorian Cinematograph #2 (17/6/2012) should take the second spot in the Post Of The Year list.
By clicking the link you can read a review, watch the whole movie on YouTube and catch up with news of a forthcoming remake!

It was during Middle-earth month that The Arcade Of Arts & Arcana chose to drop the bombshell that Benedict Cumberbatch would be playing Sauron – as well as his well-publicised role of Smaug – in The Hobbit Trilogy. https://lilywight.com/2012/11/21/benedict-cumberbatch-is-sauron/
I can now reveal The Hobbit’s new-look Legolas – a fantastic mini-spoiler in action-figure form!
Orlando Bloom will be reprising the role that made him an overnight sensation alongside Lee Pace as Legolas’ father – King Tranduil Of Mirkwood.
The costume has a regal military look, more structured and formal than the travelling clothes seen in The Lord Of The Rings. The organic, Japanese-inspired styling is reminiscent of the armour worn by the Elves during The Last Alliance of The Second Age, the battle featured in the prologue to The Fellowship Of The Ring.
Another surprise is the invention of flame-haired Elf Maiden Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly) a character created by Peter Jackson and his writing team. Tauriel is rumoured to enjoy a romantic spark with Aidan Turner’s Kili!
Why not just buy the action figures and make-up your own movie 😉

If you checked-in for yesterday’s post you will already know that Sherlock Holmes is Dracula’s only significant rival when it comes to literary characters with the most big and small screen adaptations to their credit.
An alternative world mash-up featuring Robert Downey Jr.’s movie detective versus the BBC’s Benedict Cumberbatch (with an army of self-styled “Cumberbabes” in tow) would be quite a spectacle. In the meantime I’m recommending the Stephen Spielberg produced Young Sherlock Holmes as the perfect accompaniment for a Father’s Day afternoon nap.
The arcane and occult plot-stylings undoubtedly influenced Guy Ritchie’s Twenty-First Century Holmes reboot and (although plaudits go elsewhere) Young Sherlock Holmes is a film that utilised groundbreaking CGI effects; just check-out the stained glass knight in one of the movie’s many not-so-family-friendly moments!
Indiana Jones meets Gothic Victoriana. What’s not to like?
You can view the whole film part by part on YouTube!
