Empire Magazine have unleashed two new images featuring Ian McKellen’s Gandalf the Grey and Martin Freeman’s Bilbo Baggins from their recently released The Hobbit cover issue. These images just further add to my fiendish excitement for Peter Jackson’s upcoming two-part “The Hobbit” feature film adaptation. Freeman really does look perfect as Baggins.

Both films are set in Middle-earth 60 years before J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings,” which Jackson and his filmmaking team brought to the big screen in the blockbuster trilogy that culminated with the Oscar®-winning “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.” ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,’ has been pencilled in for a December 14th, 2012 release date. ‘The Hobbit: There and Back Again’ will hit cinemas December 13th, 2013.
