For months the Colbert Nation has speculated about Stephen Colberts possible involvement in ‘The Hobbit’ trilogy, after Stephen received an invitation from Peter Jackson to visit the films set in New Zealand.

As the promotional campaign for trilogies second installment, ‘The Desolation of Smaug’ kicks into high gear, IMDB has updated the films listing to included Stephen Colbert, Evelyn McGee, Peter Colbert and John Colbert as ‘Laketown Spies’.

Having not seen the film, I can neither confirm nor deny the casting news, the film isn’t released in Australia until Boxing Day. But for those of you planning on seeing the film in the cinema, keep your eyes peeled during the scenes in Laketown.

Reddit user Boobarella, has this to say about the scene:

“I saw a cut of the film. He’s sitting on a dock in Lake town smoking a pipe if I remember correctly. He’s looking off camera but featured and wearing a mangled wig of long hair. I remember thinking, “they made that guy look like a dirty Colbert.” Turns out…”

Update:

Warner Bros. tells Yahoo Movies, that the Colberts all play “Laketown spies” in the film. The location becomes central to the story about two-thirds of the way through the flick as it is the final destination before the dwarves and Bilbo Baggins head into the Lonely Mountain to displace that evil, treasure-hording dragon Smaug. In the town, which floats on an icy lake, the little folk strike a shaky alliance with Bard the Bowman (Luke Evans) and have to hang out there for a bit. Townspeople are seen a lot during these Laketown sequences, so keep your eyes peeled to see if you can spot the Colberts Where’s Waldo-style. (As far as we can tell, the Colberts do not appear in the above clip.)

Update:

Buzzfeed have created a list featuring .gif’s of Stephen, Peter, John and Evie’s scenes in Lakewood.
