SDCC 2012: Martin Freeman on The Hobbit Panel - report round up
“It’s a bit like a fledgeling duck, finding your flippers.”
- Martin Freeman on getting used to wearing those Hobbit feet, from the SDCC panel Q&A
By all accounts The Hobbit panel went down a storm in Hall H yesterday afternoon, and Martin Freeman in particular has come in for a lot of praise for his multi layered portrayal of the lead character, Bilbo Baggins. We’ve collected various reports and choice quotes from the panel below the break, which also features much talk in the film of the dragon Smaug, played of course by one Benedict Cumberbatch… there are spoilers from the start below.
For those who wanted it re-bloggable a brief account of just how amazing Benedict’s parents are. v excited to find out that Timothy will be in Parades End as Tietjens father. His mother was just as keen to have an air date as we are!
I introduced myself and we chatted a bit about Benedict & the…
♚ Benedict and Hats [also Martin & Hats]The only one I don’t like is bottom left… But I’m team hat!batch all the way!
What is this one in top row, second from right? The Invisible Man? Never seen a picture before… And, I agree. Last row to the left is messy. Hat!Batch ;)

Benedict Cumberbatch: “He’s always doing kung fu on me. We’ll be standing around, and I won’t be paying any attention to him, and then he suddenly goes, ‘HYYYMMNNNN’ and his hand is right next to my windpipe.”
Really, Ben? He’s the one doing Kung Fu?
they’re such dorks i love it
martin where’d ur face go
I have probably reblogged this already, but a Martin who does kung fu when he feels ingnored [KUNG FU KITTEN] and Benedict in that pose are always worth posting.
Posted this four months ago.
I can’t believe how many notes this thing has now, it makes a comeback every once in awhile.
Nothing I’ve posted has ever gotten more.
Pretty cool, even though my original comment isn’t on it, because it was lame lol
OH BEN, YOU ADORABLE DERPY DERP
Martin looks like he’s turning into the Master….](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzs09n7E2v1r8g10mo1_250.jpg)

Here’s a closeup:
Sorry about the poor picture quality, but to be honest I was more interested in giving a standing ovation than taking a photo!
I was absolutely blown away by this production, and the performances of all the cast, but of course especially of Benedict Cumberbatch. He’s a tour de force, and when he’s performing you can’t look away. I’m so impressed at the calibre and commitment to this performance, given it was ‘only’ a staged reading. You could really tell not only how much talent he has, but how seriously he takes each role, and the amount of preparation put into it. Many times, he was practically off-book, and there were very, very few stumbles even when reading. He was funny, powerful, and charismatic, and even though his character said vile things, you empathized and wanted his happiness.
It was probably one of the best performances I’ve ever seen, anywhere (and since a lot of my friends are professionally involved in the theatre here [Young Vic, National…] I see a lot!)
Rebecca Hall was incredibly impressive as well. She was totally believable as Allison, and her transition from the beginning to the end of the play was fascinating. She conveyed great emotion in her performance as well, in a more understated way (not that BC was overblown; his performance was incredibly layered and variable. Pitch-perfect at every line).
All in all it was exhilarating!
Oh, and he looked really good (really tight jeans, dark, soft, longer curls - just as they should be, great skin, really fit…ahem…). So I was very happy with my view in the centre of the 5th row - sitting next to Cumberbuddy who took the seat from my friend who couldn’t make it :)
My friend and I skipped the post-show insanity and went to Starbucks next door, but just when we came back out, he did as well. It was a mob scene, but when we looked over he seemed to be pretty awesome about it, smiling and signing everything he could. We pretty much took one look at that though, and went the other directions!
I did snap one quick shot though:
Oof.
And here’s the program. Good job, Amy Ball!](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6r6handTR1robh3ho1_250.jpg)
