 In Peter Jackson's three-film adaptation of "The Hobbit" (2012–2014), Thorin is portrayed by Richard Armitage.The film adaptation adds to Thorin's quest an arch-enemy in the form of the orc Azog, who according to "The Atlantic" "provides the requisite movie-villain cliché bellowing, blustering, and gratuitous execution of minions, all of which Tolkien somehow failed to include in his text".In the 1982 game "The Hobbit" Thorin appears as an AI controlled character and one of his seemingly random actions ("Thorin sits down and starts singing about gold", which occurs when the player does nothing for a while) became quite famous.
