With Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey arriving on Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, and DVD tomorrow, I recently landed an extended video interview with Martin Freeman. Since I’d already spoken to him a few times for the film (here’s the on set interview and the interview right before the movie came out), I tried to ask all new questions. We talked about what it was like the first day on set, when he first knew he could play Bilbo Baggins, how many times he has seen the film, deleted scenes, all The Hobbit merchandise, Lego sets, what it was like to fly on an airplane that had his picture on it, his favorite places in Wellington, and so much more. Hit the jump to watch.
