NEWS: Thorin Oakenshield from The Hobbit


When posting last week's update to The Hobbit's Dwarven roster - Balin and Dwalin for those not keeping track - I mentioned that the last remaining Dwarf to be revealed was the group's leader, Thorin.

And now here he is.



What's also worthy of note is that - according to TheOneRing.net, where the image originally appeared - he's wielding Orcrist, something fans of Tolkien's writings - myself among them - will be pleased to see. It'll be interesting to see if Jackson and company remember to include its Orc-detecting properties this time around.

Oh and under the wig, that's Richard Armitage of Robin Hood fame.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is set for a December 2012 release.
