"The Hobbit" film now in development hell

Hmm so far Gloin is the only Dwarf I like in the new Hobbit movie, the other really don't look "dwarven" enough, Dwalin don't even have is iconic beard tucked under his belt.




Proper Dwarf(Gloin)


That's no Dwarf(Kili)

That's no Dwarf(Kili)

That is because Kili and Fili were young for dwarves in Tolkien's works. They may not grow full beards yet.

Not all the dwarf families in Tolkien's works had very long beards.

While there were several tribes (Houses) of the Dwarves, the most prominent had been that of the Longbeards.

They have no excuse for Thorin's lack of beard though.

That's great! Sir Christopher Lee has been one of my favourite actors ever since I saw Hammer's Dracula films as a kid, and he did a pretty good job portraying Saruman in the LOTR trilogy.

By the way, there's one interesting fact about Christopher Lee that not so many people seem to know: he actually volunteered to fight for the Finnish forces against the Reds during the Winter War, but in Finland he (along with other British volunteers) was kept away from the actual frontlines. They did give him winter gear though, and he also served on guard duties. Yes, he is really that old, but still as awesome as ever!
