Peter Jackson changed the title of the final film in his Hobbit trilogy. From There and Back Again, the movie will now be called The Battle of the Five Armies. The New Zealand filmmaker and Oscar-winning director said the old title was conceived only for a two-part adaptation of the fantasy fable. “But with 3 movies, it suddenly felt misplaced. After all, Bilbo has already arrived ‘there’ in the Desolation of Smaug,” he said. The new title is a reference to the climactic battle at the end of The Hobbit in which dwarves, elves, men, goblins and giant eagles fight it out beneath the Lonely Mountain. The film will be out in December.
