That's a fantastic picture!! [In reply to] Can't Post

Wow! It's so cool to finally see Bilbo and the 13 dwarves together in a photograph!

Everyone just looks awesome, even without costumes and makeup.

Very stoked for this!

Also, seeing just how formidably numerous 13 dwarves actually looks in real-life, I'm extremely curious to know just how they're going to distinguish one from another! More than anything, though, the necessity of two films is brought home to me. If the writing is up to par with these actors, I've a feeling the dwarves are going to steal the show (and I say that as a total Freeman fanboy)!

Yeah but... [In reply to] Can't Post

...if there's any truth to what's been said about Armitages personality, he's probably happy just hanging there in the background letting his more self-important colleagues do the posing for the press.

Indeed! [In reply to] Can't Post

What a fantastic picture that high-res one is! They all look so perfect. Boy, Armitage sure looks different when he's scruffy-looking. They all seem to have pretty good chemistry as well.

Where is Sir Ian if this is a meet and greet for the press of The Hobbit cast ? Isn't he in New Zealand ? I am also curious if it was mentioned / confirmed that the start date is indeed March 21st ? I was sincerely hoping that information was incorrect.Mad

A ha! Thanks BG [In reply to] Can't Post

I wonder if the press was aware that it was just going to be cast members there. I'd probably panic if suddenly all of the questions that I'd prepared were no longer valid

thanks to everyone who posted pics and videos [In reply to] Can't Post

...although the video BG posted isn't loading for me. It reminded me of another press conference a decade ago and the photo that caused a stir. Maybe I'll dig it up and post it on Main. (can't do... TORn's scrapbook is still down)

actually... [In reply to] Can't Post

the links I have are on the server named "archives" and that isn't working for IE either. It's possible these images are on the main server as well, but without direct links to them, it would take me awhile to find them. I'll have to see what I can do.

Well I, for one, am thrilled. [In reply to] Can't Post

It was great to see them, just anyway. And great to see them together, as well, to see the camaraderie they seem to have developed.

And Richard Armitage IS Thorin.
