Peter Jackson Changes the Next Hobbit Movie Title to “The Battle of The Five Armies”

Peter Jackson Changes the Next Hobbit Movie Title to “The Battle of The Five Armies”

Peter Jackson has just revealed that he plans on retitling the final installment of The Hobbit from There and Back Again to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.

Here is what Peter Jackson wrote on his Facebook Page, which is where he revealed the new title:

Inside Information…

Our journey to make The Hobbit Trilogy has been in some ways like Bilbo’s own, with hidden paths revealing their secrets to us as we’ve gone along. “There and Back Again” felt like the right name for the second of a two film telling of the quest to reclaim Erebor, when Bilbo’s arrival there, and departure, were both contained within the second film. But with three movies, it suddenly felt misplaced—after all, Bilbo has already arrived “there” in the “Desolation of Smaug”.

When 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: “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” it is.

As Professor Tolkien intended, “There and Back Again” encompasses Bilbo’s entire adventure, so don’t be surprised if you see it used on a future box-set of all three movies.

Before then however, we have a film to finish, and much to share with you. It’s been a nice quiet time for us—Jabez and I happily editing away in a dark cave in Wellington—but those halcyon days are quickly coming to an end. It will soon be time to step into the light. Expect to see and hear much about The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies in the coming months.

And there’s also The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Extended Cut, which we’re in the process of finishing, with over 25 mins of new scenes, all scored with original music composed by Howard Shore.

It’ll be a fun year!

Jason is coming to terrorize your living room.

According to Deadline.com, Jason Voorhees the monster in “Friday the 13th” is being scripted to an hour long television series.

Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films and Crystal Lake Entertainmenthave set a deal to produce a new hourlong dramatic series based upon the characters and settings of Friday The 13th. Sean S. Cunningham, who helmed the 1980 original, will be executive producer along with EFO Films principals Randall Emmett & George Furla, Mark Canton of Atmosphere Entertainment MM, Steve B. Harris of Diversion3 Entertainment, and Ted Fox of Fox Entertainment. Also producing is Horror Inc. president Robert Barsamian, who produced the features.

The new television series will include all of the principal characters from the original Friday The 13th. The original director Sean S. Cunningham will executive produce the project with the help of Bill Basso from Terminator and Jordu Schell from Avatar working as writers in the production.

The original movie was set in a summer camp closed due to the drowning of an unattended kid. Counselors tried reopning the place but they later discovered that was a big mistake. It is reported that the new series will focus on the characters of Crystal Lake who are forced to confront Jason as new secrets are revealed about the family. Jason Voorhees is synonymous with the genre and we plan to build on this legacy with a provocative and compelling take that expands upon the storylines that have already thrilled millions worldwide,” explained Cunningham.

“Expect the show to take viewers in some exciting new directions that we’re confident will not only excite existing fans of Friday The 13th but also attract new audiences to the situations and characters that inhabit the small town of Crystal Lake,” said Barsamian.

Eric Hill died in an accident as a result of his injuries from a paragliding accident that was not part of the show.

Hill had completed filming The Bachelorette, and according to Deadline, it most likely occurred after being eliminated so, his death will not impact the show.

Producers for The Bachelorette released a statement regarding the accident:

Eric Hill, one of the contestants on the upcoming season of ABC‘s The Bachelorette, has died as a result of injuries sustained in a paragliding accident over the weekend that was not part of the show.

The leading actor of the biopic, Midnight Rider, drops out of the project following the on-set death of Sarah Jones.

William Hurt is dropping out of Midnight Rider, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Actor was portraying Gregg Allman in the movie, which had stopped production after the on-set death of the camera assistant Sarah Jones due to a train accident.

Director Randall Miller has been trying to resurrect the production in Los Angeles after leaving Georgia, with a goal of hiring new crew members to work on the production.

ben

However, a social media campaign, union boycotts, and protests are preventing the production from continuing.

Insiders say that if Midnight Rider does resume production, it could face union pressure, litigation and protests from sectors of the film community that have highlighted Jones’ death as a preventable fatality. The project will likely have to recast if other actors don’t return as the film looks to restart production. [THR]

Actor William Hurt commented in an email that he thought the filming on the train tracks was dangerous. “I said, ‘Sixty seconds is not enough time to get us off this bridge.’ There was a communal pause. No one backed me up,” the actor stated in a copy of an email published by the Los Angeles Times on March 21.

According to Deadline, the producer for ‘Midnight Rider’ made some controversial comments regarding the way she likes to film movies.

“went on to talk about CBGB and was bitching about how our former film commissioner Jay Self kept showing up to set, telling her she couldn’t do this, she couldn’t do that and that she was so glad he was no longer film commissioner. [Savin] said, ‘We make movies by our own rules.’ ” Deadline has talked to other attendees who also corroborate the comments made by Savin at the event.
