If you’re into sword-wielding dwarves with windblown hair, brooding stares and a hook-up to Middle-earth, does Peter Jackson have the men for you! After releasing photos of his epic film’s Company of Dwarves (Dori, Nori, Ori, Ãin and Glóin) last week, the New Zealand director introduces fans to another dwarf duo today. Meet KÃli and FÃli.
According to MSN, KÃli (Aidan Turner) and FÃli (Dean O’Gorman ) are “two of the youngest dwarves, who have been born into the royal line of Durin and raised under the stern guardianship of their uncle, Thorin Oakensheild. Neither has ever traveled far, nor ever seen the fabled Dwarf City of Erebor. For both, the journey to the Lonely Mountain represents adventure and excitement. Skilled fighters, both brothers set off on their adventure armed with the invincible courage of youth, neither being able to imagine the fate which lies before them.”
