The final chapter in Peter Jackson’s trilogy adaptation of J.R.R Tolkien’s The Hobbit is arriving at cinemas at the end of this year. Originally, The Hobbit was only meant to be made into two films, with the second film being named THE HOBBIT: THERE AND BACK AGAIN; however back in 2012 Peter Jackson announced that the adaptations would become a trilogy, resembling the style of THE LORD OF THE RINGS
The third and final chapter was supposed to be titled: THE HOBBIT THERE AND BACK AGAIN; however TheOneRing.net has recently been told that New Line Cinema has registered two new, alternative titles: THE HOBBIT: INTO THE FIRE and THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF FIVE ARMIES.
The first of these is perhaps inspired by The Hobbit chapter ‘Out of the Frying-Pan Into the Fire‘, and the second is reminiscent of the events that occur at the end of J.R.R Tolkien’s novel. So far, nothing has been confirmed, but if you ask me I prefer the original as there’s a greater sense of finality and there shouldn’t be any reason to change it.
We’ll bring you any news as we hear!
