Nothing about Martin is too "contemporary" for me at all. I don't even understand how you're arriving at your definition of "contemporary" and what makes Freeman fall under it to the point of distraction...his deliveries and mannerisms are perfectly hobbit-esque. What exactly are you seeing that seems too "modern", if you could elaborate? As Bilbo, I suppose Freeman's portrayal would stand out in such a way...Bilbo being, at least from the start, very much a hobbit, the "modern man" compared to the other races in the cast, is part of the character. I see only that, nothing that would make me think "He's from 2012". From the first glimpses of footage to now, he's simply been Bilbo Baggins - or at least my version of Bilbo Baggins - so unfailingly that I often wonder if Sir Peter didn't actually find a real hobbit after all...

IMO, this seems like it's from the end of the film, with Bilbo having rejoined the Dwarves after Goblin-town...
