but if I were coming into this blind, there better be a gosh darn reason for having 13 dwarves if half of them don't even talk! Honestly they probably would be better off cutting out half the dwarves and really focusing on the most interesting ones, HOWEVER that would be sacrilege on the highest order. It's unfortunate film adaptations get stuck with baggage. Again I love having 13 dwarves, but from an adaptation standpoint, a problem-solving and FILMMAKING perspective, having 13 anonymous bearded dudes as part of your main cast is something I personally would never want to take on. Also with pressure from fans to keep EVERYTHING from the book whether or not it makes for a good movie, my head spins just thinking about it. PJ and Co have always had a great knack for cutting inessentials, rewatching the LOTR there are even more moments I wish he could have cut out that were made needlessly complex in order to maintain certain "bookish standards." Again, from a filmmaking standpoint. As a Tolkien fan I of course want everything from my precious little books, but sometimes it's good to learn to let go.
"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair; and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater."-J.R.R. Tolkien "Thanks for the money!" -George Lucas

I don't think the general audience will ever be able to name all the Dwarves correctly!
