I can't ****ing wait for this. I just got done re-reading the book (took about 3 days) just for the hell of it...

I will have to for sure. I can hardly remember a book from 3 months ago, let alone 8 plus years ago.

And endless homoerotic hugging in the last hour. :D

So at :51-:53, the man (clearly not a Dwarf) on the far right -- who the hell is that? Aragorn isn't on the list of cast members.

Meanwhile, noted that the cast list includes both King Thror and King Thrain, and Azog. VERY NICE. I don't necessarily know how they work it into the story arc well, but I'd love to see some of Appendix A to LoTR in the movies. Christ that would rule....

I kinda think that's Kili, he's just standing up when the other dwarves are sitting. And he looks tall for a dwarf...

Not watching it right now: but I bet it's Thorin Oakenshield. They really broke canon with the dwarves and made some of them pretty human looking.

Here he is:

That being said, I can appreciate why they did it. If they just had a bunch of bearded brawny dudes, the characters would be indistinguishable. They broken canon on the dwarven race in order to make for better film. Judging from the preview, I approve.
