Guillermo Del Toro speaks about Smaug, approaching actors, and other details about the Hobbit in an interview with MTV.

MTV: Do you have the picture yet of the Smaug you want to create?

Del Toro: I discussed the Smaug appearance with great detail with [Tolkien illustrators] John Howe and Alan Lee, and there’s some illustrations that John did out of that meeting in London that approximate Smaug. I cannot say much more. He is becoming clearer and clearer.

Thanks MTV!
