A Day in The Life Of The Hobbit: Benedict Cumberbatch to Do The Voice of Smaug

According to The One Ring, early "unofficial" reports are saying that Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock), will do the voice of Smaug, the dragon.  Everyone is keeping very hush hush, and the actor refused to say more, claiming "I can't say at the moment, than you very much."

Apparently the secret was accidentally leaked by Martin Freeman, who will play Bilbo.  He later told reporters, "I knew I was a sort of a big mouth but I didn't realize to what extent I was a big mouth, and I've just ruined everything. I might not actually go back to a job- they might have just sacked me."

So what do you think?
