Is that Benedict Cumberbatch in the second pic? In addition, Jackson wrote on his Facebook page:
"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 grueling and intense, but I'm so happy with what we've been shooting. These next two movies are going to be pretty great!"
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug will be out this December, and
The Hobbit: There and Back Again the following one ion 2014.
