Director Peter Jackson has announced that Martin Freeman has officially finished his work on the last two Hobbit films. He posted a couple of photos on Facebook, one of which features Bilbo waving goodbye. Here's a note from Jackson,
"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!"
I kind of hate that after these next two Hobbit movies come out Peter Jackson will never make another Middle Earth film. Do you think these movies will be remade by another director one day? I sure hope not!
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug will be released on December 13, 2013, and The Hobbit: There And Back Again has been set to open on December 17th, 2014.
