The Next Hobbit Film Gets New Title

Hat Tip: Digital Trends

The last film in the Hobbit Trilogy has been renamed.  Instead of The Hobbit: There and Back Again it will be The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies.

Given all the extraneous material that had to be included in order to make three films, I suggest some alternatives.

The Hobbit: Two Films Too Many.

The Hobbit: Finally Over.

The Hobbit: Roger Corman was a slacker when it comes to padding.

The Hobbit: Enough Already

The Hobbit: Tolkein is Rolling Over in Hs Grave.

And Finally,
The Hobbit: Three Films to Get There, Now for Three More to Get Back Again.


BTW, I have to correct something in a previous post.  I miscalculated the amount of padding involved.

The Hobbit in written form is about 300 pages.  Each book in the trilogy runs 450-500 pages.  That means Peter Jackson had to add the equivalent of 1,200 pages to the Hobbit in order to produce a trilogy instead of a single film.
