Fili and Kili – More Dwarves from Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit Revealed

Peter Jackson has a steep hill to climb, but the latest pics of dwarves Fili and Kili from MSN Entertainment reveal that he’s doing a pretty good job of tackling that mountain.

LOTR introduced us to Gimli, and if you didn’t picture him whenever you had a book with dwarves in it, you probably pictured someone that looks a lot like him. So, what do you do when you’ve already created the perfect dwarf? Risk going off in a unique direction and possibly upsetting legions of fanboys all over the world, or a make a film that gets real confusing real fast because all the little people that aren’t Hobbits look like Gimli carbon-copies?

It might have initially seemed like a huge risk, but the recent photos of Gloin and Oin, along with the trio of Nori, Ori, and Dori proves that Jackson is a man that knows what he’s doing, with Kili looking like he’d be equally as comfortable in The Highlander or one of the Pirates of the Caribbean films.

The latest duo to join The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Fili (Dean O’Gorman) and Kili (Aidan Turner), are the youngest of the dwarves taking part in the journey. They’re part of the royal line of Durin, raised by their stern uncle, Thorin Oakensheild.

The latest Hobbit news hasn’t been all about the dwarves though. We also have some pics of Gandalf the Grey and Bilbo Baggins.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is expected to arrive in theaters on December 14, 2012, with The Hobbit: There and Back Again hitting the big screen on December 13, 2013.
