Peter Jackson has just posted a new photo on his Facebook page, declaring an end to almost 9 months of shooting the two-part The Hobbit.
Jackson adds:
We made it! Shoot day 266 and the end of principal photography on The Hobbit. Thanks to our fantastic cast and crew for getting us this far, and to all of you for your support! Next stop, the cutting room. Oh, and Comic Con!
Cheers, Peter J
