Slowly but surely images of the dwarves from Peter Jackson’s Hobbit films are surfacing. First we saw Nori, Ori, and Dori, then came Oin and Gloin, the latter of whom is father of Gimli from the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

Now, we get our first look at brothers Fili and Kili, nephews of Thorin Oakenshield, from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Check out the photo above.

The new photo shows Dean O’Gorman as Fili and Aidan Turner as Kili.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey hits theaters on December 14, 2012 with its second part, The Hobbit: There and Back Again, to be released a year later on December 13, 2013.

Here’s the official description of the image:

Two of the youngest Dwarves, Fili and Kili have been born into the royal line of Durin and raised under the stern guardianship of their uncle, Thorin Oakensheild. Neither has ever travelled 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.
