Entertainment Weekly has the first look at Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming The Hobbit.

How does Jackson feel about the casting?

”He fits the ears, and he’s got some very nice feet,” Jackson says of his Bilbo. ”I think he’s got the biggest hobbit feet we’ve had so far. They’re a little bit hard to walk in, but he’s managed to figure out the perfect hobbit gait.”

And because I’m a fan of Sir Ian McKellan, here’s a shot of him reprising his role as Gandalf.

What say you, Geeks? Does Martin Freeman look like he’s a pretty good Bilbo?
