Peter Jackson is back on the set of The Hobbit to finish up shooting the last two parts of Peter Jackson's final Middle Earth trilogy, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and The Hobbit: There and Back Again. Production has begun in New Zealand, and Jackson posted the following message on his Facebook page along with a behind-the-scenes photo that features him with Ian McKellen as Gandalf.

Back on set for our last Hobbit pick ups. Our last ever Tolkien pick ups, in fact. It's going to be an intense few weeks, but we're looking forward to shooting some powerful scenes with our great cast. Our next blog is coming soon!

I love the first film in the trilogy, and I'm incredibly excited to see the rest of the story play out over the course of the next two films.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug hits theaters on December 13th, 2013, and The Hobbit: There and Back Again will be released on December 17th, 2014. It's kind of sad that after this we'll never see anymore Middle Earth set films.
