Image Of The Final Dwarf in The Hobbit And A Lovely Group Shot: All Your Dwarves Are Belong To - No? Too Geeky? Oh, Go Screw

Peter Jackson’s camp has been steadily releasing images of the company of 13 dwarves that will accompany young Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) in his upcoming adaptation of The Hobbit, dragging things out as much as possible. Now, finally, we have the final and most important one, Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage), son of Thráin II, and heir to the Lonely Mountain.

Courtesy of the dedicated geeks of TheOneRing.net (via Ropes Of Silicon), here’s a nicely photoshopped image of the whole company together (click for a pretty spectacular hi-res version):

They are, from left to right: Bombur (Stephen Hunter), Bofur (James Nesbitt), Bifur (William Kircher), Nori (Jed Brophy), Ori (Adam Brown), Dori (Mark Hadlow), Thorin (Richard Armitage), Balin (Ken Stott), Dwalin (Graham McTavish), Oin (John Callen), Gloin (Peter Hambleton), Fili (Dean O’Gorman) and Kili (Aidan Turner)

I dig it. Jackson and company are getting a lot more elaborate with the costume design, and it makes for some interesting characters. As one of those who adored all three of Jackson’s Lord Of The Rings films (my personal order of favorites: Fellowship, Two Towers, Return Of The King), I’m pretty damn excited to see this project finally getting off the ground.

Who knew Thorin was a direct ancestor of Klingon Chancellor Gowron?

That is exactly what I was thinking..Gowron.

I was thinking that Kili was kinda cute.

Gowron! exactly.

That´s some nice character designing right there.

I always imagined Thorin as older, but Durin's line were a long-lived bunch. Either way, let the project roll on. I want to see what Smaug looks like.

I see I'm not the only one that noticed the Klingon resemblance.

dragging things out as much as possible

This can describe everything LOTR-related.

Now we get to see what Balin looks like before going to Moria, and later having his tomb shattered by a Cave Troll...

And Gimli looks like his daddy.

Today is a good day...

For Pie!

Considering the fact that Kahless created the first Bat'leth, I guess it shouldn't be surprising that Klingons and Dwarves are related.

I'm annoyed by the fact that Thorin just doesn't look like a dwarf at all. If anything he looks like a wild mountain man from the second movie. I get that the studio must be pressuring Peter Jackson to make the dwarves seem appealing, but leaving THORIN without a proper beard and Kili looking like GQ's Elf of the Year is a little ridiculous.

Another Gowron moment here.

But almost all the others look like caricatures rather then decent movie characters.

Posted by: FabMax at July 19, 2011 2:18 PM

I see the Gowron resemblance now, but my first thought was "Holy Shit! Battlefield Earth!?"

How in Jesus's crumbly jockstrap did I not know that James Nesbitt was in this, let alone Richard M'f'king Armitage? Consider my ticket already bought and lovingly fingered

some of these dwarves don't look very, well, dwarfy.

Posted by: Myrmidon16 at July 19, 2011 6:30 PM

He looks like a mini-pyschloid.

US!!!

It's not too geeky, TK, though I'm surprised no one else admits it. I guess we're the only ones without shame.

Ha! Now we know what Aidan Turner was doing after Being Human killed him off so spectacularly. (Uh... spoilers?)
