Andy Serkis Promises Smaug Is Going To Be 'Extraordinary' In 'The Hobbit'

There is really anything wonderful than an encounter with Andy Serkis. He's so darn humble and nice, as well as spectacularly gifted. Our latest run-along with the "Tintin" and "Rise From The Planet from the Apes" actor what food was in the Golden Globes which Serkis was attending meant for "Tintin," which required home the trophy for the best Animated Film (Just how much have you love the truth that director Steven Spielberg gave Serkis a unique shout-in his acceptance speech, incidentally?) In the end might have spent sufficient time speaking with Serkis about his most lately celebrated figures (Captain Haddock and Caesar, correspondingly) we could not ignore the truth that he's presently flexing familiar precious muscles as Gollum for that filming of Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit," therefore we folded the dice and requested Serkis for his ideas around the infamous and evil Smaug. "Oh I can not give any secrets away," Serkis stated immediately upon hearing the question. We accompanied having a slightly different position and requested whether Jackson and Co. have produced another kind of dragon or maybe they are remaining inside the limitations of common fantasy fiction and mythology. Essentially, they have reinvented the dragon or what? Serkis offered us his non-answer/deflection with an unintelligible sentence composed of nonsense words. "I can not state that,Inch he protested, coming back to British. "Because its still under systems, will still be a secret character that's carefully safe-guarded and it is still within the design process." He did also promise that fans won't be disappointed once they see him. "By having an actor like Benedict Cumberbatch playing him, it will likely be remarkable," Serkis stated. Exactly what do you hope Smaug appears like? Classic dragon or perhaps a reinvention? Inform us within the comments or on Twitter!

Winter chill on Broadway

Porgy and Bess saw a nice bump in ticket sales despite critical reviews that have been mixed. Broadway's January slide continued last week, with drops looking particularly dramatic among the tuners most reliant on tourist biz. But even as musical-focused tourist auds dried up, playgoers turned out to take advantage of a less-crowded Times Square environment and winter ticket deals. A number of non-musicals saw sales uptick, with the biggest increase reported at "The Mountaintop" ($636,651), the Martin Luther King Jr. tale that likely also benefited from the MLK holiday weekend. "Relatively Speaking" ($359,460), "Stick Fly" ($303,386) and "Chinglish" ($222,233), among others, also logged gains. A number of tuners, meanwhile, saw their tourist-fueled B.O. fall, with "Mary Poppins" ($790,802) dropping more than $250,000 and "The Phantom of the Opera" ($779,751) and "Chicago" ($481,836) down by more than $100,000 each. Among musicals, one of the sturdiest showings of the frame was at "Porgy and Bess" ($853,017), despite last week including the production's heavily comped opening night as well as some press previews. Although the revised version of the Gershwin musical has stirred controversy among purists and earned reviews that were all over the map, sales so far have proven solid, particularly for a production opening in the midst of the annual winter slump. Meanwhile, both "Follies" ($878,826) and "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" ($627,972) rose, with momentum likely provided by the imminent closing of each. The absence of recently shuttered tuners "Billy Elliot" and "Lysistrata Jones" contributed to the Broadway cume's overall decline, as did a hefty drop at "War Horse" ($613,711), attributable to a shortened performance week at that show. Total Rialto sales slid around $3 million to $20.9 million for 29 shows on the boards. Attendance deflated by around 20,000 to 229,469, or 81% of the Street's overall capacity.

Confab cheerleader recruits biz, ad exex

Medialinks Michael Kassan has searched for to create more showbiz and marketing executives to CES. Michael Kassan is fed up with one-on the sides conversations.For a long time, the customer Electronics Show has revolved around companies revealing the most recent entertainment products that they would like to end up in consumers' hands and houses.However for Kassan, the chairman and Boss of Medialink, CES is not only a show about hardware.Although he's attended the show over a large number of years, Kassan has spent yesteryear 5 years being an unofficial cheerleader for that Electronic Devices Assn., which is the owner of the earth's biggest tech convention, trying have more professionals from Hollywood and Madison Avenue to create the trek to Vegas.It began having a party -- now CES' official kickoff event, which on Monday evening packed a lot more than 1,500 professionals from galleries, systems, and talent, advertising and media purchasing agencies in to the Wynn Las Vegas' Tryst Nightclub. GroupM, Interpublic Group and OmnicomGroup, the large congloms from the ad world, backed the big event.InchIt is a vintage mashup," stated Kassan, something he's lengthy searched for to do through Medialink, the advisory firm he founded in 2004 to counsel the media, entertainment and tech industries.Kassan's reason for corralling the executives at CES would be to discuss the technologies effecting their companies, especially entrepreneurs."For me personally it comes down to getting the CMO, the CIO, the CTO and also the Boss together who in the past don't talk to each other," Kassan stated. "The conversation must start earlier. You'll need Coca-Cola, Unilever and Procter & Gamble arrive at CES in groups to become engaged earlier using the electronics industry. When they start earlier, design and manufacturing will consider marketers' needs that are not always surface of mind for individuals. The Ipad, apple iphone, Microsoft tablet -- individuals will transact their companies on these. This is the way marketing will probably be done. You cannot treat them being an afterthought."It's such as the conversation ten years ago when individuals spoken about Madison and Vine, Plastic Valley and Taiwan," Kassan added. "Beginning the conversation early with Hollywood designed a difference. Beginning the conversation early with Microsoft, Google, Yahoo made the conversation different. Beginning the conversation early with electronics producers helps make the conversation different. That is what really got me thinking about CES."Kassan's week-lengthy program includes an evening meal with asked executives and what he's top quality the CMO Club, curated around the CES show floor in the Vegas Convention Center that guide media professionals and entrepreneurs to what they're most thinking about seeing if this involves electronic devices.InchWe are showing them stuff that are highly relevant to what their plans are," Kassan stated. "If Whirlpool is planning around health at General electric, we are not getting these to something that's great for the sheet metal business. This is exactly why we curate it. Otherwise, CES could be circuit overload."Kassan will even moderate a brandname Keynote Panel with executives from Unilever, Whirlpool, Hyundai, AT&T and Facebook on Wednesday, in the Vegas Hilton Theater.Kassan's come-to-CES campaign has labored -- especially during the last 2 yrs, with increased reps from both industries visiting CES than in the past. This past year, a lot more than 9,000 entertainment professionals attended the very first year of Entertainment Matters at CES. Which year's 150,000 registrants include a lot more than 5,000 who operate in marketing and advertising and 1,000 CEOs in the marketing biz."They're here," Kassan stated. "They simply did not know why in the beginning.""This can be a conversation about distribution models," he added. "They are all systems," stating the two billion people each day that visit Walmart and touch a Unilever product, or even the 1 billion that interact with Coca-Cola. "Systems today could be enabled by technology and electronics."Kassan already has his sights set on next year's CES and enhancing his growing club of entrepreneurs. "I wish to allow it to be compelling so more and more people return and produce their CMOs." Contact Marc Graser at marc.graser@variety.com
