Earlier today, director Peter Jackson revealed online that the last installment of The Hobbit, originally called There and Back Again, will be re-titled The Battle of the Five Armies—which is a reference to a conflict between the Goblins and the Wargs against the Elves, Eagles, Dwarves, Beorn the Shape-shifter and the Men of Dale shortly after Smaug the Dragon was vanquished near Erebor. Personally speaking, I like the new title...which makes this December's finale to Jackson's Hobbit film trilogy sound pretty epic. We'll overlook the fact that this name is more appropriate for a Star Wars or Transformers movie than it is for a Tolkien-inspired flick. I just want to see Smaug finally meet his demise at Lake-town, as well as Sauron continuing to make his presence felt in the next film. The Battle of the Five Armies comes out in theaters nationwide on December 17.
