Fan mega site The One Ring has an exclusive image of Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield, son of Thrain, son of Thror, King Under the Mountain. Here’s the text that comes with it; As a young Dwarf prince, Thorin witnessed the destruction and terror wrought when a great fire-breathing Dragon attacked the Dwarf Kingdom of […]
The Hobbit: Kili and Fili picture
Kili, with the dark hair, will be played by Aidan Turner. Fili is Dean O’Gorman. These are two of the youngest dwarves on the mission, born into the royal line of Durin and raised by their stern uncle Thorin Oakenshield. What do you think? Two fan favourites in the making?
The Hobbit: Dwalin and Balin pictures
I rather like this rolling release of characters from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Here we have the dwarves Dwalin and Balin. IMDB gives the credits to Graham McTavish and Ken Stott. Two fine Scottish actors there. In addition, Warner Bros have shared a character description for the pair. “Dwarf Lords in their own right, […]
More Hobbit Dwarves: Bofur, Bombur and Bifur
It’s been a few days since we’ve seen a new poster of dwarves from the forthcoming The Hobbit movie. Fear not! We have a new one! Step forward actors Stephen Hunter, James Nesbitt and William Kircher. They are Bofur, Bombur and Bifur. Yes. It’s very weird seeing James Nesbitt has a dwarf.
More dwarves from the Hobbit: Oin and Gloin
The teaser posters continue to come out for The Hobbit. This time we’ve got Oin (played by John Callen) and Gloin (played by Peter Hambleton). Gloin is the father of Glimli. John Rhys-Davies was perfect as Glimli. I like connections like this between the two books. Not sure I’m so keen on some of the […]
First picture of the Dwarves of The Hobbit; Nori, Dori and Ori

Geeksplode: Adam Savage sings I Will Survive as Gollum
Boom! That’s the sound of my geek dna exploding in an overdrive of geek charged geekiness. Awesome. Awesome. Do you have a better word for it? Oh. Yeah; that is Neil Gaiman as one of the radio hosts. It’s such an appropriate song for Gollum to be singing. Clever Gollum, clever.
First picture of Bilbo Baggins
Those lucky, blogger loving, scamps at Entertainment Week have got their hands on the first official pictures of one Mr Martin Freeman all dressed up as Bilbo Baggins. There is no official permission to share this Hobbit photograph but I can sense that both their editorial team and their legal department really want small, grass […]
Hobbit news: Stephen Fry joining, Weaving returns and photo of McKellen as Gandalf
Here’s a quick The Hobbit news round-up. It’s about time we’ve found the time to mention this rather important movie here at Geek native. First up is the news that Stephen Fry will be joining The Hobbit’s cast along with the seven foot tall Conan Stevens. Fry will be playing The Master of Laketown. Conan […]
Games Workshop signs 6 year deal with Warner for Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit
Good news for battling British war games dealer Games Workshop. They’ve managed to secure an impressive six-year extension to their Lord of the Rings deal with Warner Bros. The result? Games Workshop can continue to make tabletop games based on “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings”. This is a global deal. Needless to […]
