On Thursday morning, Peter Jackson announced via Facebook that the name of the third Hobbit film would be changed.
The movie was slated to be called The Hobbit: There and Back Again, but the change was made after Jackson and crew decided that Bilbo Baggins, the plucky protagonist of the film, was essentially "already there" after the second film.
"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," Jackson said.
The title?
"And so: "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" it is," Jackson confirmed.
Jackson also teased that we should be getting a lot more information about the film in the coming months and mentioned that the extended cut of the second Hobbit film, The Desolation of Smaug, will contain almost 25 minutes more screen time than the theatrical release.
