With the Harry Potter saga winding, as I have mentioned in this space, I will be shifting gears and journeying to Middle Earth.
So you can imagine the level of contentment I reached when I saw these images pop up this week, giving fans all over the world a sneak peek at what the dwarves and Bilbo Baggins look like in full costume and makeup (all Images are property of Warner Brothers/New Line Cinema):
Dwarves aside (have previously written about them), this preview sets in stone that Martin Freeman was placed on this planet to be Bilbo Baggins.
What do you think? Are you excited?

It’s definitely great that the production is releasing some pictures of the production as it moves along. Nice way to engage the fans and maybe even get some of their input.

I agree Castor … maintaining the goodwill of a loyal (and sometimes rabid) fanbase is cool. I guess he gets it being a fanboy himself.

I want to see THORIN (played by one of my fave British actor Richard Armitage). I saw the 2nd Hobbit videoblog last night, boy am I excited for this film!!
iluvcinema says
🙂 Can’t wait for the press tour – all Armitage all the time!
