And here's a YouTube link if you don't want to deal with Facebook.

^ The city, not the planet.

I'm really disappointed that Nimoy isn't playing Smaug. Wonder why that rumor was so persistent? It got my hopes up so fricking high!

They look like they can kick total ass.

Yeah, so far all of the dwarves look great. While I'll admit I'm still kinda disapointed we won't get to see Guilermo Del Toro's take on The Hobbit, I still can't wait for this movie.

Here's Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur.

More what? We've already seen all of those pics.

 

[JD]

I wonder if we'll get to see the design for Smaug before the movie comes out. I'm kinda torn on that to be honest, on hand I'd love to see him, but at the same time it might be more fun to wait and be surprised.

 

[Skywalker]

Balin and Dwalin revealed!

Only one Dwarf left.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Still waiting on Thorin's costume reveal, but until then, here's some small but exciting news:

Elessar sends along a curious tweet from artists/illusionist Derren Brown, not 2 hours ago he tweeted the following:

@DerrenBrown Off to watch some Ian Holm and Christopher Lee being filmed for The Hobbit. HOW EXCITING!
​

The tweet gives us a little more info on the apparent ‘UK shoot’ taking place sometime soon (maybe even today). Along with news that Elijah Wood is heading to the UK soon, and of course word that Christopher Lee wants to be involved in The Hobbit, save for traveling to New Zealand. No official word can be gleamed from the production (trust me, I tried), let us hope we learn more soon!

TheOneRing.Net (where else?).

 

[Skywalker]

I figured they'd do some shooting in the UK specifically to accommodate Lee (whose reasons for not wanting to travel out to NZ are completely understandable). Totally worth it.

Granted my image of Thorin as an old bastard is because of the Rankin/Bass animated movie, but this doesn't quite do it for me. But it always comes down to the performance.
