Trivia:

Stephen Fry describes his role as the Master of Lake-town as "an opportunity for sheer grossness. Peter Jackson had me eating testicles! I've got a bald cap and then on top of that a really bad comb-over wig, and this wispy mustache and beard and horrible blotchy skin and disgusting fingernails ... generally speaking, a really unappetizing piece of work."

Quotes:

[from trailer]
Bilbo Baggins:I can't just go running off into the blue! I am a Baggins, of Bag End!
