While director Peter Jackson and his innards recuperate, the cast of THE HOBBIT has started gravitating to New Zealand for the back-to-back movies’ lengthy production.
As seen in the pic above, the new face of Bilbo Baggins, Martin Freeman, has gathered with a number of dwarfs, who will collectively be de-heightened via the magic of moviemaking.
The cast got together for a press conference to mark the commencement of the production, and the actors obviously have a solid sense of camaraderie already. Freeman describes Jackson as “phenomenally, genuinely normal” and “a bloke” (before jokingly calling him a monarchist), while other cast members hope to make it through the shoot without getting killed.
