Ready to get a sneak peek at the Hobbit's Bilbo and Gandalf?

Well, here it is.

Until the fantasy flick hits theaters next year, Empire Magazine is giving Hobbit fans a tease of what's to come in its latest issue, with photos of Martin Freeman and Sir Ian McKellen striking a pose inside of their respective lairs.

The mag, which dishes on the happenings at the film's New Zealand set, also scored an interview with director Peter Jackson, who said the dwarves in the film "don't know what to make of Gandalf, they think Bilbo is a wuss, and Elrond a prissy Headmaster type".

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is scheduled for release December 14, 2012.
