<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nPeter Jackson stated, \u201cOur journey to make \u2018The Hobbit\u2019 Trilogy has been in some ways like Bilbo’s own, with hidden paths revealing their secrets to us as we’ve gone along. \u2018There and Back Again\u2019 felt like the right name for the second of a two-film telling of the quest to reclaim Erebor, when Bilbo\u2019s arrival there, and departure, were both contained within the second film. But with three movies, it suddenly felt misplaced\u2014after all, Bilbo has already arrived \u2018there\u2019 in the \u2018The Desolation of Smaug.\u2019When we did the premiere trip late last year, I had a quiet conversation with the studio about the idea of revisiting the title. We decided to keep an open mind until a cut of the film was ready to look at. We reached that point last week, and after viewing the movie, we all agreed there is now one title that feels completely appropriate. And so: \u2018The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies\u2019 it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
