SDCC 2012: Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis and Richard Armitage signing for The Hobbit

A nice selection of pictures via Warner Bros’ Instagram feed of Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis and Richard Armitage signing autogaphs at the Warner Bros Booth on the San Diego Comic Con show floor this afternoon, before The Hobbit panel presentation in Hall H.

Taken from TV Guide’s summary of the Elementary panel at Comic Con last night, Jonny Lee Miller briefly spoke about a conversation he had with Benedict Cumberbatch on differentiating his interpretation of Holmes from that in BBC Sherlock:

Miller acknowledged that the two talked about their similar projects, but declined to divulge exactly what was said. “We wanted to be sure that it was going to be very different, so that was the conversation that we had,” Miller said. “He’s been very, very supportive actually. We just discussed what a wonderful character it is.”

From theonering.net:

Warner Bros. today announced what has been suspected and rumored: the studio is bringing “The Hobbit,” to the San Diego Comic-Con in a big way. Most surprising is just how big as director Peter Jackson, producer and co-screenwriter Phillipa Boyens, actor and director Andy Serkis along with featured actors Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen and Richard Armitage are all expected at the Saturday, July 14 Comic-Con panel in Hall H hosted by Warner Bros.

UPDATE:

Timings have now been revealed for The Hobbit panel. It forms the third and final part of the Warner Bros presentation in Hall H on Saturday July 14, beginning at 14:30PDT and scheduled to finish at 17:00PDT. The Hobbit panel follows the panels for Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Pacific Rim’ and the new Superman film ‘The Man of Steel’, so to see The Hobbit panel, you have to attend the entire Warners Bros panel. Due to the ‘world’s first premiere footage’ from all three films, this is widely expected to be one of the most popular panels of the entire four days of Comic Con - be there early for a chance to get in!
