So obviously Peter Jackson and WETA and the whole crew are spending massive energy and brainpower and money and creativity to work out just how to do the bestest, hugest, most imposing, most convincing dragon character of all time. I bet they'll succeed at that, too.

Might they be doing it with an eye to using this knowledge even more in the future? PJ did buy the rights to the Temeraire series a few years ago...

Of course, a side effect of having that in mind on my recent Temeraire reread was mentally imagining Temeraire as being voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch -- and Laurence as being played by Martin Freeman...

(Also, the single best Temeraire fic I ran across.)

But then he'd be typecast as "that guy who always plays opposite Martin Freeman." Which isn't a bad place to be, but....

Thanks for the rec, that looks awesome!
