Peter Jackson Retitles ‘Hobbit’ Finale To ‘The Battle Of The Five Armies’

[dfergie]

“Our journey to make The Hobbit Trilogy has been in some ways like Bilbo’s own, with hidden paths revealing their secrets to us as we’ve gone along. “There and Back Again” felt like the right name for the second of a two film telling of the quest to reclaim Erebor, when Bilbo’s arrival there, and departure, were both contained within the second film. But with three movies, it suddenly felt misplaced—after all, Bilbo has already arrived “there” in the “Desolation of Smaug”.

At least he did not announce he was breaking up the third movie into two parts... But, I bet the studio would love 2 more movies...

They have already stretched the book far enough.
