Peter Jackson gathered his cast and crew back in New Zealand for a few weeks of pick-up shots for not only his soon-to-be released The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, but also the final chapter in his The Hobbit trilogy, The Hobbit: There and Back Again. As he has done throughout this process, he has chronicled it through a video diary, and his latest has premiered.

Our favorite part of the entire eight-minute video…. Martin Freeman dressed as Bilbo playing table tennis!

As we saw in this The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug sneak peek, Bilbo, Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and their band of dwarves are getting closer to the titular dragon who has taken over the dwarves’ homeland.
