John Callen as Oin and Peter Hambleton as Gloin in Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – 2012
From Yahoo! Movies: Distant cousins of Thorin Oakenshield, these two doughty Northern Dwarves join the Company out of a sense of loyalty to their kin, and also because they have a substantial sum of money invested in the venture. Along with Bombur, Gloin is the only other married Dwarf in the Company (there being a shortage of female dwarves in general). His wife is an acclaimed beauty with a particularly fine beard. Gloin is the proud father of a young son, Gimli, who will go on to become part of the famous Fellowship of the Ring.
Analysis of the image is pending, meanwhile take a look at the growing collection! First Dori, Nori and Ori, and now Gloin & Oin.
New Line and Warner Bros. have minutes ago released a stunning production picture of Mark Hadlow as Dori, Jed Brophy as Nori, and Adam Brown as Ori in The Hobbit.
The picture is accompanied by a rather humourous description of the Dwarves:
These three brothers, all sons of the same mother, could not be more different from each other.
Dori, the oldest, spends much of his time watching out for Ori, the youngest; making sure he’s not caught a chill or got himself killed by Wargs or Goblins.
Nobody quite knows what Nori gets up to most of the time, except that it’s guaranteed to be dodgy and quite probably, illegal.
Dori, Nori and Ori are intensely loyal to each other – and whilst they are perfectly happy fighting amongst themselves, woe-betide anyone who means harm to one of these brothers.
NYMag.com has a new interview up with Elijah Wood who’ll be reprising his role as Frodo in The Hobbit, and perhaps the most interesting bit is his response to the question about when he’ll be going down to New Zealand to shoot his scenes.
Here’s what Elijah said:
October. I’m going to the U.K. first to do some shooting, but then I’m going down in October for the New Zealand part.
Not to jump to any conclusions, but does this potentially mean Sir Christopher Lee will be shooting his scenes in the UK this October? Discuss over at our message boards. The entire interview can be found over at NYMag.com.
On this episode of Hobbit in 5, we talk about more pictures from the Hobbit, Howard Shore will be honored at the World Soundtrack Awards, Liv Tyler wants a cameo in The Hobbit, and Elijah Wood’s interview about returning to Middle Earth. We’ll also take a look at Smaug for our character study!
Thanks to our executive producers: Rodney E. Eaton, Josh Long, Kelly Lombard, Krista Cherée Hulsman, Jeffrey Campbell, and Steve Aultman
