Hobbit Dwarf Bits

The latest issue of Empire Magazine has hit the stands and has Peter Jackson talking a bit more on The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey/The Hobbit: There and Back Again via The Playlist

Jackson confirmed “The Hobbit” will be more comical than The Lord of the Rings film trilogy

"We are being more humorous than ‘Lord Of The Rings,’ but that is the characters. I’m dealing with a whole bunch of extenuate and forthright dwarves who are not afraid to say what they think. They have a healthy disregard for the icons of Middle Earth".

Jackson also says the dwarves are quite different to what we've seen in the 'Rings' films - “They don’t know what to make of Gandalf, they think Bilbo is a wuss, and Elrond a prissy headmaster type”.

After weeks of a slow rollout the dwarves are gathered in one place for a group photo

The group travel with Bilbo (Martin Freeman) on his journey. They include Thorin Oakshield (Richard Armitage) Bofur (Stephen Hunter), Bombur (James Nesbitt), and Bifur (William Kircher). Oin and Gloin (John Callen and Peter Hambleton) Jed Brophy as Nori, Adam Brown as Ori Mark Hadlow as Dori Balin (Ken Stott) and Dwalin (Graham McTavish)
