The One Ring has just posted the very first image of Beorn from Peter Jackson's
The Hobbit trilogy. As you can see in the image below, the fictional shape-shifter, is chopping wood on his farm. What is most jarring, is that Beorn doesn't look anything like the description that J.R.R. Tolkien provided in his book.
Beorn was of immense size and strength for a man, and retained his size and strength in bear-form. He had black hair (in either form) and a thick black beard and broad shoulders (in human form). While not a "giant" outright, Beorn's human form was of such great size.
This version below, could rock out to Achy Breaky Heart with that skunk like mullet on his head. Who is playing Beorn, Billy Ray Cyrus? It's quite a departure, going from a vision of Paul Bunyan to some sort of semi-wolfman/skunkman. What do you guys and gals think?
The second in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" continues the adventure of the title character Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he journeys with the Wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) on an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor.
