It will probably be old news for you, but I'd still like to give you this bit of film news. The text is something I wrote for my journalistic writing course at university, so don't be confused by the writing style.
New Title for Last 'Hobbit' Installment
Jackson Decides for Title Change to Fit
Film Saga's Story Line
In what might be a surprising move for
the fans of dwarves, elves, orcs and hobbits, director Peter Jackson
announced a title change for the third and last installment of his
'Hobbit' saga. Instead of “The Hobbit: There And Back Again”
movie fans will now be seeing “The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five
Armies” later this year.
Jackson explained his decision by
saying that the original title would have rather fit a two film
telling of Tolkien's famous novel. The second part would have told of
Bilbo's arrival at and departure from Erebor. 'But with three movies,
it suddenly felt misplaced - after all, Bilbo has already arrived
“there” in the “Desolation of Smaug”.', Jackson said,
referring to the second part of his trilogy.
The German title of the movie has been
changed accordingly with “Der Hobbit: Die Schlacht der Fünf Heere”
replacing “Der Hobbit: Hin und Zurück”. However, “There And
Back Again” is certainly not completely off the table and might be
used as a title of the whole trilogy and appear on box sets or other merchandise.
The last part of Jackson's “Hobbit”
trilogy is scheduled for release in theaters on December 17, 2014. It
stars Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage and Benedict
Cumberbatch among others
