Is 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' finished?
|

 Is third and final Hobbit movie complete? There is some evidence to suggest it is, as social media folks from Weta Digital say they have finished the long, long job of bringing Middle-earth to the cinema.
Director Peter Jackson - who if you paid careful attention to the latest Hobbit trailers, also directed a trilogy based on The Lord of the Rings - likes to push deadlines and make changes on his films right up to the last moment. He was clear at the world premiere of the first Hobbit film about how he literally made changes the night before the premiere.
So is the film finished or is just Weta Digital's work finished? Or is only a division of Weta Digital's team finished? Nobody who knows is saying for sure (although we have asked!) but it is very possible "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies," has had its finishing digital touches added and is complete. All this inspired by the pen of J.R.R. Tolkien.
Typically the director or some combination of the director, producers and studio work on the film until they nail down its moments, beats and running time. Then the digital team finishes the film, working and polishing to as much as time and money allow. With Jackson films, Weta Digital finishes parts way ahead and parts at the very last minute, working with the director closely. Concurrently, the score and sound effects are being mixed into the final finished product.
The film is shot in high frame rate, 3D and sound comes in a variety of choices including the most complicated and best: Dolby Atmos. All of these processes take time. In other words, there may still be a lot of things to get done before the film is done, but finished or not, the end is near and it is like twilight on the final day of Middle-earth movie making. Only clips for the inevitable extended edition remain and then, Jackson and company will soon say goodbye to Middle-earth forever.

1, PJ was working on AUJ until literally an hour or two before the premiere, the same day.
2, Ideally sound mixing is the very last thing to be done, not VFX, so there is a good chance (if it is true that VFX are complete) that the sound mix is still going.
If it is true that VFX are complete and they are still working on the film, I am very hopeful that the CG may be a little more polished this time around.

If a film is delivered too early a studio may be tempted to do a little re-cutting to "improve" it.
Even if a film is finished, many directors will wait until the very last minute to deliver a film to avoid such tampering.
Of course if a studio *really* hates the finished cut it may well postpone the release date for a few months so they can recut it anyway.

Delaying the release date, seeing as they've already booked the World Premier and had all that brou-haha about the Kiwi Dwarves not being there.
Why yes, I DO look like Anna Friel!
