The Hobbit

Think this deserved it’s own thread

Oin and Gloin

Dori, Nori and Ori

Gonna be SWEET

I can’t put into words how much I’m looking forward to this.

If they are doing some filming in London I may get all fanboy and see if I can go watch!

Thorin Oakenshield with his sword Orcrist, the Goblin-cleaver:

The Dwarves:

(L-r) Jed Brophy as Nori, Dean O’Gorman as Fili, Mark Hadlow as Dori, James Nesbitt as Bofur, Peter Hambleton as Gloin, Graham McTavish as Dwalin, Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield (center), Ken Stott as Balin, John Callen as Oin, Stephen Hunter as Bombur, William Kircher as Bifur, Adam Brown as Ori and Aidan Turner as Kili

Balin and Dwalin:

Fili and Kili:

Bombur, Bofur and Bifur:

Looks like they gave Gloin one of the axes Gimli used in LotR, which makes sense.

Doesn’t look like Balin has the battle axe Gimli got from his tomb in Moria though.

Thorin Oakenshield looks so noble. Great costuming!

These two are officially my favorite dorfs ever

Why Fili and Kili?

Uh do you see their weapons? One’s a ranger and the other dual wields swords.

(It’s been too many years since I read The Hobbit to go on anything other than looks/gear lol)

That’s legit. Those are some badass swords.

He looks like a Klingon! Heh heh

Seriously though, huge Richard Armitage fan here. Really looking forward to this!

When I read the book I pictured Thorin Oakenshield looking more like Oin does.

Here’s a lil trailer for ya

The Hobbit looks amazing. Once again, Peter Jackson and crew have nailed it.

I am presently reading ‘The Hobbit’ to the talosdaughters. They are getting a kick out of the dwarf antics.

I CAN’T WAIT to see this! I have to admit, I have not read this since High School. I have a whole year to get caught up, I suppose.

Holy moley Operator- thank you
Looks damn sweet.
Can’t wait to see it. Only a year away. (memories of BSG):slight_smile:
