Durin’s line is Durin’s house as everybody from Durin’s house is from Durin’s family.

Which is purpose of this discussion. Family trees or dwarves design…This will be just another great made blockbuster…I am sure I will enjoy it more than 100%… on big screen TV… BlueRay… 3D cinemax cinema… etc… and than I’m sure dwarves will look different than those in this picture… when we see them in motion, in environment full of details, activities and actions. I’m sure everything will look a lot better…. As Master Estele mentioned.. This is still not final work… Those dwarves look funny now… and in this point I’m agree with spider lady…..

Just back from travelling to the Lonely Mountain, so my first viewing of this, thanks for posting . I guess like it or lump it, this is what the dwarves of the film will look like and life will go on. I have to admit seeing the sequences has made me view the dwarves in a different light than my first impressions.

I guess I had it ingrained in my mind that characters more in keeping with the style of the book would be order of the day, but with some reservations I am warming to the characters.

I do hope Orchrist will be a proper sword and not a Samauri style sword as depicted in the Last Alliance elves, but time will tell.

Did you notice that the dwarves will be having a mini skirmish at the Troll-Fells so I guess this part of the book has been altered, will they blindly walk into the arms (sacks) of the Three Trolls and await Gandalf’s rescue or will it be a self help job?

I loved the last clip of Christopher Lee making a comment about Peter J 😆

Remember Glamdring is a traditional longsword – but one with a very Elf-ish leaf like design. I suspect the blades of Gondolin were more “traditional” (in the local of the movie), but the blades of Lindon are the “two handed samurai-ish sword we see in the movies. Possibly there was some sort of material cultural tradition amongst the Elves of the Falas as opposed to the Elves of Gondolin. Perhaps one was Dwarven influenced, the other more experimental?

Thank you Erchamion for that video! I am feeling a bit better now, when both versions of dwarfs (little and bigger) came on the stage at almost the end of the video, they seemed much more tolkien related than in the previous shots!!

I was really afraid for that Thorin picture, as he was resembling VERY much to a Klingon!

Thank you Thingol for heading me back here!

I like the dwarves considerably more now that I’ve seen them en masse – I particularly like the Bombur characterisation!

Very interesting – a few recognisable scenes, some not so recognisable

I don’t know if any of you fellows have seen the three inside-story blogs posted on this site, but they make interesting reading, not least because they at last tell us where the first film will end – with Bilbo’s return to Hobbiton, just as in the book. Which is a bit of a surprise (assuming it isn’t a deliberate piece of misinformation). Because if it’s true, then nothing of the book itself can be in the second movie at all, which on that basis must be entirely made up of “new” material, preesumably derived from the appendices and other background gubbins – telling of the hunt for Gollum and the attempt to reoccupy Moria and suchlike maybe? Until a few more tidbits are cast in our direction we’ll just have to carry on guessing.
