Details Discussed for Hobbit's Extended Cut

 

"We are putting things in the extended cut that are going to play straight into the second film, like this character Girion, who is defending [the city of] Dale using black arrows against Smaug. And the black arrows play a part in an ongoing story, for they are the one thing that can pierce the dragon's hide.

 

There are also issues with [king of the elves] Thranduil (Lee Pace). We get some of the reason why he and the dwarves had a falling out - to do with these white gems.

 

You are going to get some serious Dwarvish disrespect of the elves at Rivendell."

 

"The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" is slated for a December 13, 2013 release.
