Today we have the first image of John Callen as Oin and Peter Hambleton as Gloin. (The latter being the father of Gimli from The Lord of the Rings, hence a certain resemblance.)
Are you getting excited about it yet?

First image of The Hobbit’s dwarves
The first image of Nori, Dori and Ori, The Hobbit’s sibling trio of badass dwarves, has just been revealed.
With filming well underway for Peter Jackon’s return to Middle-earth, the release of this tantalising press shot is practically mouth-watering.
We especially like all the hair, facial and otherwise. Hairdressers should probably expect ‘star-shaped’ to be the in-look next season…

Peter Jackson’s ‘The Hobbit’ is slowly building with casting news coming out like a trickle since it was green lit. Well, today I have learned that Elijah Wood has officially been recast to reprise his role as Frodo Baggins.
If you are wondering like I did about how he will fit in since the story of The Hobbit takes place before he was born, TheOneRing.net has cleared it all up:
As readers of “The Hobbit” know, the tale of “The Downfall of The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit or There and Back Again,” are contained in the fictional “Red Book of Westmarch.” In Peter Jackson’s LOTR films, the books are shown on screen and written in by Bilbo and Frodo and handed off to Sam Gamgee. (Not explained on film are Sam’s progeny later having the book and being Wardens of the Westmarch — hence the book’s title.) The fictional book, and either the telling from it or the reading of it, will establish Frodo in the films experiencing Bilbo’s story. Viewers to learn the tale of ‘The Hobbit’ with a familiar Frodo getting the tale as well.
So basically it means that Frodo will be in the opening sequences of the films as Bilbo shares “his stories” with his nephew…so we as the audience will be finding out the stories the same time as Frodo. Make sense?
At any rate, I am glad to hear that the films are shaping up and I can’t wait to see how they will look!
