First, we have a picture of the dwarves fromThe Hobbit, all lined up together. It’s not actually a new photo, but rather a composite of the photos we’ve already seen. Still, it’s nice to finally see the whole gang together.
From left to right, that’sJed Brophyas Nori,Dean O’Gormanas Fili,Mark Hadlowas Dori,James Nesbittas Bofur,Peter Hambletonas Gloin,Graham McTavishas Dwalin,Richard Armitageas Thorin Oakenshield,Ken Stottas Balin,John Callenas Oin,Stephen Hunteras Bombur,William Kircheras Bifur,Adam Brownas Ori, andAidan Turneras Kili.
The first half ofPeter Jackson’s adaptation ofJ.R.R. Tolkien’sThe Hobbit, titledThe Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, will openDecember 14, 2012. Part two,The Hobbit: There and Back Again, will be releasedDecember 13, 2013.
Next up, we have the first shot ofLily Collinsin costume as the title character forTarsem Singh’sSnow White(not to be confused withSnow White and the Huntsman, which stars Kristen Stewart). Collins will be co-starring withJulia Robertsas the Evil Queen,Sean Beanas the King, andArmie Hammeras the prince. Collins describes her character as “a joyful person who lights up a room and maintains grace at all times,” which sounds like classic Snow White. But the character will have a modern twist as well: “She’s been modernized in a way that she becomes a fighter in the end.“Snow Whitewill openMarch 16, 2012.
Finally, there’s a new shot ofEmile HirshinChris Gorak’sThe Darkest Hour, which revolves around a group of young people stuck in Moscow during an alien attack. Hirsch will be starring alongsideOlivia Thirlby,Max Minghella,Rachael Taylor, and others. Sadly, there are no aliens in the photo, though there is a really pretty building in the background.The Darkest Hourwill hit theatersDecember 23, 2011.
