IGN was first to nab the new images of the dwarves from Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit. This time around we get Bofur, Bombur, and Bifur.
(L-r) Stephen Hunter as Bombur, James Nesbitt as Bofur and William Kircher as Bifur in New Line Cinema's and MGM's fantasy adventure The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, a Warner Bros. Pictures release.
What I like about the images we’ve seen so far, is that the characters all look different from one another, and according to their descriptions, align with the regions, and titles each of them holds.
While most of the Company of Thorin Oakensheild is related to the royal and noble line of Durin, Bofur, his brother Bombur and their cousin Bifur most definitely are … not. Born and bred in the West, descendants of coal miners and iron workers, they have joined the Quest for the Lonely Mountain partly to seek their fortune and partly because they were told the beer was free.
