No...Thorin, Dwalin, and Balin are all missing.
For our resident Elrond fan, Screen Shot from the production video thing that shows him and Bilbo on set.....there you go, Mith.

*wub* lovely Hugo in a new frock... splendid, thank you. There are other Hugo fans you know.... and I know I am not alone in my appreciation of Mr Armitage even if he be blighted by a beard.....

![]() Which one is Armitage? I seldom pay attention to who the actor actually is.... I'm still hoping Cirdan is going to be cast, if the do the White Council...he's named as a member in the books. ![]()

Encaitaire is another but she is seldom here alas. And I rather suspect I was a Hugo fan before she was born ![]() Richard Armitage is Thorin and Lalaith and Lalwende are also fans....

You might call me a fan...I liked him in North & South.

I have that on DVD but I havne't seen it yet (I saw the final episode only when broadcast) I need to see if I can get teh silly DVD player to work again.... He was very good in "Spooks"(MI-5) - well in the first series - in teh second they completely reinvented the character and I was miffed. I just think he is pure Numenorean and it seems bizarre he is playing a dwarf.

Is it my imagination or does Bombur look like Barliman Butterbur?
Methinks, Mr. Jackson should revisit the trilogy and pay particular attention to Gimli so he can remember what dwarves are supposed to look like. ![]() I guess Thorin's bright blue cloak is a no-go .... ![]() |

Odd I didn't mention this before, but wouldn't it be funny if PJ actually gave the Dwarves blue and yellow beards - the way Tolkien described them?

And finally...Thorin
TORn gets world exclusive reveal on first picture of Thorin Oakenshield (and Goblin- cleaver Orcrist!)

Ugh.
Thorin looks like everything that's wrong with PJ's interpretation of Tolkien's work. I'm afraid we won't get a cinematic adaption of The Hobbit, which is basically a book for children, but nonetheless has some more subtle, tender ideas and messages which can be moving for adults as well. (Just read the deathbed scene at the end of the novel). Instead, judging by our previous experiences with Jackson, we will get a nauseating blend of angsty fanfiction, various scenes from other works of Tolkien which just don't belong in The Hobbit (and just don't provide enough material for a fleshed-out narrative - any scenes about the White Council will need completely new dialogues, and we all know how good the PJ team is in that department ![]() Basically, we'll get a gritty reboot, and the ridiculous images of Thorin, Dwalin and especially Kili prove this in my opinion. By the way, is there a piece of a hammer sticking in Bifur's head? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...nthebrain.jpg/ |

Hi! Welcome to the site. Did you find it while looking for a place to vent about PJ's movies, and not be accused of being several unflattering terms (I got called a B**** the other day on another site....it was rather funny.
![]() ![]() As far as your final question goes....yes. And I have no idea why. ![]()

from what I've seen on ToRN the Dwarves look far too harsh,
unlike The Hobbit Thorin & Co. How they could ever work with the slapstick comedy of surprising Bilbo (and then Beorn) stretches credulity. And that's a good point about dialogue needed in the White Council. This again is an example of CT's extremism in non-cooperation with PJ has hurt the movies (he could have, both through general influence and in rewrites, have ameliorated some of the worst aspects of PJ's films, while bolstering his strenghts---particularly cinematography).
