Jackson released the following statement on his Facebook page: “We made it! Shoot day 266 and the end of principal photography on The Hobbit. Thanks to our fantastic cast and crew for getting us this far, and to all of you for your support! Next stop, the cutting room. Oh, and Comic Con!” (Cinema, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey)
