First Look at RADAGAST THE BROWN from THE HOBBIT


Radagast the Brown is probably the biggest hipster from J.R.R. Tolkien’s millenia stretching lore. You know… because you’ve probably never heard of him!

Hilarious, right?   I’ll take that unimpressed sigh as a resounding “no”.

Anyways, Peter Jackson has just revealed the first photo of the ol’ beastie loving wanderer and he’s looking 50 Shades of Hagrid.  Now, you might not be able to tell, but beneath all of that makeup is Sylvester McCoy, of Doctor Who fame.  The years have not been kind.

Being a huge fan of the books, I can’t wait for Radagast to pop up on the silver screen.  I’ve always been a bit unsatisfied when it comes to Tolkien’s coverage of the lesser known Istari (the order of wizards including Gandalf and Saruman).

So what do you think of The Hobbit pic? Is it way too awesome? Is it kinda weird?
