Changes: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

Revision as of 02:18, 4 April 2014

The Hobbit: There and Back Again is the upcoming third and final installment of The Hobbit Trilogy. It will follow The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and will be produced by Peter Jackson, who also directed the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Filming took place primarily in New Zealand. The film stars Martin Freeman as Bilbo, Ian McKellen as Gandalf the Grey, Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug and the Necromancer, and Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield.

The film will possibly begin with Smaug's attack on Lake-Town and continue with Smaug's demise, The Battle of Dol Guldur, The Battle of Five Armies, and the return journey. It has also been thought that there will be some sort of skirmish in the ruins of Dale involving Gandalf and Thranduil (and possibly Tauriel).

On February 28, 2013, it was confirmed there is a new release date for There and Back Again. It has been announced via press, and now mirrors the release dates of Peter Jackson's Middle-earth films, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The movie's release date has been rescheduled from July 18, 2014 to December 17, 2014.^[1]

Trivia

The film will be the last film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings and related works, as the Tolkien Estate has forbidden any more films from being made (at least for now).
The title comes from Bilbo's fictional volume in the Red Book of Westmarch: There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Tale.
In Sir Christopher Lee's most recent Christmas Video, he has speculated upon the movie and that Saruman The White will have a lot more screen time in this movie.
This film will be the most emotional of the trilogy.
It will have a fight scene between Bain and Smaug, according to the extended edition of An Unexpected Journey.
In a interview with Boyens,there is a reason why the dwarves were split,and she said Bofur needs to see the attack on lake town.
In an interview with Richard Armitage,he said the third might be a shorter and the battle of the five armies cost a lot of blood and tears.
