Peter Jackson heeft via zijn Facebook pagina laten weten dat Martin Freeman klaar is met het filmen van The Hobbit trilogie. Naast het onderstaande bericht, deed hij er ook nog eens twee!! foto's bij. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug zal vanaf 14 december in de Nederlandse bioscopen draaien, en The Hobbit: There and Back Again precies een jaar later.

"Tonight Martin Freeman finished his last shot as Bilbo Baggins. The end of an incredible two and a half years. I cannot imagine anyone else in this role - a character that Martin has nurtured and crafted with love and great skill.

We have said goodbye to our elves, humans, wizards and now the hobbit. We now enter our final 2 weeks of pick-ups, and it's wall to wall dwarves. These pick-ups have been gruelling and intense, but I'm so happy with what we've been shooting. These next two movies are going to be pretty great!"
