The Hobbit films

[karen9]

I'm starting to get excited about the Hobbit films. Unfortunately the first film is due out only in December 2012.

http://www.theonering.net/torwp/the-hobbit/  is a good source of current news.

Richard Armitage plays the role of Thorin Oakenshield. Doesn't he look amazing?




Fans of Aidan Turner will be pleased to see him playing Kili, one of the younger dwarves.




And Benedict Cumberbatch will be the voice of Smaug the dragon.

Ooooh, I see Martin Freeman is in this too! So many great actors, it's going to be awesome. And then of course there's Aidan. UNF. But why do we have to wait so looooong? *pouts*

Yes, there's a great cast. With Peter Jackson directing it's sure to be awesome.

WE're not much good at deferred gratification, are we?
