As soon as Guillermo del Toro left The Hobbit project and it was announced that PJ would direct two movies, it was evident that these would be much bigger than Tolkien’s The Hobbit novel and that they would be, for better or for worse, Peter Jackson movies. I expect big monsters, lots of fighting, silly humour, some missteps but many moments of feeling, beauty and grace and a compelling and vivid realization of Middle Earth. The Hobbit will be one of the stories told in these movies but not the only one. It will be interesting to see how the experience of making the LotR trilogy + 10 years changes PJ’s approach. Certainly the filming was organized far differently and the video logs indicate a rather larger and more organized set up. I’ve been hoping that AUJ would be kept as a title and that the movie would stay much the same as it that panoramic image represented it, ending with Barrels Out of Bond. This interview gives me a bit of hope of that. Ending the second movie with the death of Smaug makes sense to me, as does the title The Desolation of Smaug. But if I were naming it I’d call it The Desolation of the Dragon because a good part of the movie audience won’t know who Smaug is. But maybe that would sound too much like a martial arts film. That leaves There and Back Again, which I really hope is retained just becasue I like it. IMO The Battle of Five Armies is a poor choice which sounds more like a video game than a movie. Not that it matters. Anyone who loves AUJ will go to see the other two movies whatever they are called.
