The Hobbit Movie Thread

OMG - I love that shot of Gandalf. I think I might just get a tear in my eye when I get to see him again on the big screen.

 

[Evil Agent]

That Dwarf in the middle sure looks like Jason Momoa.

I thought the exact same thing. Very Khal-Drogo-esque. It's Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield, and the makeup looks very different than I'd imagined. It might take some getting used to, but I think it's cool.

First look at Nori, Ori, and Dori.

I love how they're not simply going for thirteen long-bearded lookalikes. And there's a whole lot of character just in the way their posed and dressed.

I'm not sure I like the crazy triangle hair... but I understand that they want to give all the dwarves a distinct look. Otherwise, they look AWESOME!

 

[Loerwyn]

My thoughts are the same as EA; I'm not sure about Nori's hair (At least, I think it's Nori).

It's looking to be very good, though. Very good

 

[DailyRich]

The thing about Nori is that he's described as being involved in "dubious and probably illegal" activities. So his look strikes me as some kind of con-man who's all primped up trying to look his best but still comes across as kind of shady.

And here's Oin and Gloin.

Oin and Gloin

Oin and Gloin (Gimli's dad, looks just like him!).

EDIT: Oops, too slow!

 

[Daddy Darth]

The dwarves look amazing. Keep em coming.

 

[Stephen Palmer]

So looking forward to this film...

Fili and Kili

Continuing the slow reveal of the dwarves, we have Fili and Kili.

Sad to say, I'm pretty disappointed/unhappy with this image.

Fili is okay, but Kili? I don't mind a "hot" dwarf, but he looks WAY too much like a human or elf, and nothing like a dwarf. Where's the makeup?

 

[Daddy Darth]

Agreed! I am confused. He totally looks like a human. I don't think his being a young dwarf really explains this.

New Bilbo image

Here's a new image of Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins!

Also, this weekend will bring the first HOBBIT trailer. I'll post it here as soon as it is available.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

I wonder whether it will be a longish trailer (as trailers go) or one of those 15 second teasers?

Whichever it is, I want to see it!

 

[Loerwyn]

Wow, Freeman suits Hobbitness perfectly.

Cannot wait to see this film!

 

[Daddy Darth]

I am as giddy as a school girl just thinking about it, especially since I will take my daughter. Insert ahhh here.

First HOBBIT Trailer!!!

Well, we've been waiting 10 years for it! And here it is, the first HOBBIT Trailer!

I've only watched it twice so far, but wow!!! The trailer is WAY more than I was expecting!

 

[Loerwyn]

Agreed, EA, I was expecting very little in the way of footage.

Did the singing of the Dwarves make anyone else's hair stand on end? It was... wow. And the effects look good, as do the costumes and stuff, as does everything else. Oh, and there's Cate Blanchett in it, so I'm happy.

I'm really excited for it now.

 

[Daddy Darth]

WOW! Simply wow.

Yup. Phenomenal trailer, seen it more than 10 times now.
