Perhaps this is going to become a daily thing now as Yahoo has debuted the following image of John Callen as Oin and Peter Hambleton as Gloin from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on the heels of yesterday’s reveal of Dori, Nori and Ori. Here’s the caption that accompanied the image:
Distant cousins of Thorin Oakenshield, these two doughty Northern Dwarves join the Company out of a sense of loyalty to their kin, and also because they have a substantial sum of money invested in the venture. Along with Bombur, Gloin is the only other married Dwarf in the Company (there being a shortage of female dwarves in general). His wife is an acclaimed beauty with a particularly fine beard. Gloin is the proud father of a young son, Gimli, who will go on to become part of the famous Fellowship of the Ring.
It certainly makes sense that Gloin is the father of Gimli, who was played by John Rhys-Davies in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. In this image they look almost exactly alike.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is currently filming and is set for a December 14, 2012 release.
