Caught wind of this via Grognadia [//grognardia.blogspot.com/]

More photos out on slashfilm blog [//www.slashfilm.com/photos-martin-freeman-bilbo-baggins-the-hobbit/ew-hobbit-bilbo/]

Not much so far, but it sure is a good looking tease! Aesthetics seem similar to LoTR so am expecting (praying for) good things.

I still can't get over how perfect Ian McKellan is and was as Gandalf. I mean he was exactly how I imagined him in the books.

Seeing new pics of him in the role gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

They really couldn't have picked anyone else more perfect for the role could they?

It's looking to be an awesome movie. As expected Martin Freeman makes a perfect Bilbo.

I know right? I'm racking my brain trying to think of another actor who could be almost as perfect as him and I just can't. Same with Christopher Lee and Saruman.

Keanu Reeves? "Hey little dudes, don't touch that Ring, it's way heinous!" *shudder*

Don't say such things! If tomorrow there is a news post about Ian McKellan passing away and Keanu Reeves replacing him then the nuclear teddy bear under your bed will end you.

...... Nope. I've got nothing either. Just goes to show how much effort they put into such an iconic film series that they would perfectly cast it.

Know what's funny? Up until now I didn't know that Martin Freeman was playing Bilbo.

OT: And I agree, Ian McKellan is Gandalf.

Hell, everyone in the Lord of the Rings movies are perfectly cast. Almost all were how I envisioned them looking, and all fit into their roles perfectly. It's just amazing.

Seems this movie is continuing that trend. Martin Freeman as Bilbo looks, well, damn near perfect. I kind of imagined Bilbo as being a bit chubbier, but eh, no big deal.

Ha so did I :D

He does have the kind of 'goofy but up for some adventure' look about him that I always imagined Bilbo to have.

And as for the characters looking just how we imagined... Gollum. Holy shizzle I'll never forget the first time he came on screen.
